Unlike traditional task queues, it handles both synchronous and asynchronous functions natively and integrates with async frameworks like FastAPI and AioHTTP. You define tasks by decorating functions with a broker decorator, then send them to a queue where worker processes pick them up and execute them.\n\nThe package is built around type hints and PEP-612 to provide strong IDE autocompletion. It requires a separate message broker to run\u2014taskiq itself is the client library and worker runner. You start workers via a CLI command that discovers your tasks, optionally with hot-reload support. The framework is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need async-first distributed task processing. Taskiq is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is MIT-licensed. The main gotcha is that you must run a separate message broker\u2014it's not a standalone queue. Requires Python 3.10 or later."},"id":"taskiq","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taskiq","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taskiq.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/taskiq/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-08","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"taskiq","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Distributed task queue with full async support"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1816026,"position":3522,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.12.4"}
