About the Name: Vorsteh Queue

The name "Vorsteh Queue" is a tribute to our beloved German Spaniel. This breed is closely related to the Münsterländer, a type of pointing dog, known in German as a "Vorstehhund". Just as a pointing dog steadfastly indicates its target, Vorsteh Queue aims to reliably point your application towards efficient and robust background job processing.

The inspiration for naming a tech project after a dog comes from the delightful story of Bruno, the API client. It's a nod to the personal touch and passion that drives open-source development, much like the loyalty and dedication of our canine companions.

Free & Open Source

Vorsteh Queue is completely free and open source. Built by developers, for developers. No hidden costs, no vendor lock-in, no limitations. Use it in your personal projects, startups, or enterprise applications.
