Debated using RabbitMQ but decided the infrastructure overhead was too high.

Ended up looking into `rq` and `arq` which were both excellent!

Would recommend if you're looking for a (faster) worker queue without all the overhead (in my case, didn't need all the other features that came w/ RabbitMQ so this got the job done).
