Is there any library for the queueing mechanism?

What's used by the most - Cron? But a task or rather script executed by Cron won't access to the context of an application. Meaning, a task will have be an independent unit. Whereas I want is a library to use inside a project such that it'll have access to everything.

Anything similar to Sidekiq exist in Rust?

The clokwerk crate.

@SuddenlyBlowGreen @nothingness I recently needed that, but fuzzy. Like I want a task ran anywhere between 1PM and 2PM. Can this be accomplished with the clockwerk crate?

You could schedule a task at 1 PM, then generate a random number between 0-60 inside that task, wait that many minutes, then launch the actual task.
