JOB 04Introduction

Installation

VarMQ needs Go 1.27 or newer. Add it to your module with go get, then import it. Pick the variant you need:

Install · go get

Three install variants as tabs: VarMQ alone, VarMQ with the Redis adapter redisq, and VarMQ with the SQLite adapter sqliteq. Each tab shows the go get command and the import, and each has a copy button.

The in-memory worker pool, queues and topics.

terminal
go get github.com/goptics/varmq

main.go
import "github.com/goptics/varmq"

VarMQ needs Go 1.27 or newer. Run go version to check.

The in-memory worker pool, queues and topics are all in this one package. Shared storage also needs a storage adapter, which is its own module: redisq for Redis or sqliteq for SQLite.

Versions

Each module has its own go.mod, so each one can need a different Go version. The table is for the releases these docs describe.

ModuleVersionGo versionOther needs
github.com/goptics/varmqv1.11.01.27 or newerNone.
github.com/goptics/varmq/contractv0.7.01.24 or newerNone. VarMQ and the adapters import it.
github.com/goptics/redisqv1.6.01.26 or newerRedis 6.0 or newer, with Lua scripts allowed.
github.com/goptics/sqliteqv0.4.01.27 or newercgo (CGO_ENABLED=1) and a C compiler, because it uses mattn/go-sqlite3.

Your module needs the highest Go version of the modules it uses. With VarMQ v1.11.0, that is Go 1.27.
