Move workers to que-go for Heroku

[alexdor]

The workers should be moved to que-go so we could deploy the app in Heroku and leverage the workers there. There are some instructions here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/que-go

I would like to work on this.

[alexdor]

Go for it @aswinmprabhu : )

@alexdor are we constrained to use que-go? Actually there are many other good background job processing libraries. Is only que-go supported on heroku?

[alexdor]

I've only seen que-go to be recommended by Heroku https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/que-go

In theory it just need to run as a separate app (according to this https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/background-jobs-queueing#process-model) so in theory we could just extract the worker to a separate go app and run that

Okay, got it!

@alexdor is there any particular IRC channel like gitter, slack or so, where i can discuss with you and other contributors?

[alexdor]

Hm, as far as I know there isn't one, maybe the slack that is listed on ossn (https://ossn.club/faq-page) but I wouldn't consider it an official channel. Maybe @bacharakis has created one that I don't know

You can always reach out to me on the email that is listed on my gh profile
