Queuety

The WordPress workflow engine What is Queuety? Queuety is a WordPress plugin that provides a fast job queue, durable workflow engine, and durable state machine runtime. Workers claim jobs directly from MySQL and process them inside a long-running WP-CLI process. The problem: WordPress has no real background job system. wpcron only fires on page visits. Action Scheduler boots the entire WordPress stack for every batch. An LLM API call that takes 60 seconds gets killed by PHP's 30-second timeout. There's no way to run multi-step processes that survive crashes and resume where they left off. Queuety solves this with three primitives: 1. Jobs for fire-and-forget background work 2. Workflows for durable multi-step processes with persistent state 3. State machines for long-lived, event-driven lifecycle state Quick Start Prerequisites: - PHP 8.2+ - WordPress 6.4+ - MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+ - mysqli or pdomysql enabled for the PHP runtime that loads WordPress and WP-CLI For Composer-managed WordPress installs (for example Bedrock): For a packaged plugin zip: For local development from this repository: Queuety chooses a MySQL driver automatically.
