Huey

v1.0 (new)

Lightweight Redis/SQLite queue, first-class.

Huey 2.x and 3.x both supported. Event capture via huey.signals (enqueued / executing / complete / error / retried / revoked). Pair with z4j-hueyperiodic to surface @periodic_task schedules.

Engine docs PyPI: z4j-huey

Install

bash

pip install z4j-huey

Native actions

submit_task
retry_task
cancel_task

Brain-polyfilled actions

bulk_retry
requeue_dead_letter

The brain fetches the original args from its tasks table and lowers to submit_task transparently. The dashboard shows the same button regardless.

Not supported

purge_queue (engine limitation)
restart_worker (graceful self-exit)
rate_limit

Engine-level limitations, not a roadmap gap. These actions require primitives the engine does not expose.

Wiring

How z4j plugs in

Event capture

huey.signals decorator, installed via adapter.connect_signals().

Reconciliation

Huey result store (peek_data). Returns pending/success/unknown.

Paired scheduler

Huey @periodic_task

Read-only surface for Huey's decorator schedules.

z4j-hueyperiodic

Huey's @periodic_task is decorator-defined in source code, read-only at runtime. This adapter surfaces every periodic on the Schedules page for visibility and monitoring.
