Priority Queue System using Redis Sorted Sets

This project implements a priority queue using Redis' sorted sets to manage tasks or jobs. Redis' sorted sets provide an efficient way to manage ordered data with a unique score for each item, making them ideal for building a priority queue system.

Features

• Priority-based queueing: Tasks are prioritized based on a score (e.g., timestamp, priority level).
• Efficient: Leveraging Redis' sorted set to ensure fast insertion and retrieval.
• Easy integration: Simple to integrate with your existing applications or services.

How it works

• Each task in the queue is added to a Redis sorted set with a score that represents its priority.
• The task with the lowest score is processed first (i.e., highest priority).
• You can adjust priorities by updating the scores or adding/removing tasks.
