Taskiq Deduplication

Redis-backed deduplication middleware for Taskiq that prevents duplicate tasks from being queued or executed concurrently.

Documentation: https://taskiq-deduplication.d3vyce.fr

Source Code: https://github.com/d3vyce/taskiq-deduplication

Installation

uv add "taskiq-deduplication"

Quick Start

from taskiq_redis import ListQueueBroker
from taskiq_deduplication import RedisDeduplicationMiddleware, DuplicateTaskError

broker = ListQueueBroker("redis://localhost:6379").with_middlewares(
    RedisDeduplicationMiddleware(redis_url="redis://localhost:6379"),
)


@broker.task
async def send_report(user_id: int) -> None: ...


# First dispatch acquires the lock — succeeds.
await send_report.kiq(user_id=42)

# Second dispatch while the first is queued or running — raises.
try:
    await send_report.kiq(user_id=42)
except DuplicateTaskError:
    pass  # already queued or running

Features

• Sender-side deduplication — rejects duplicate tasks at dispatch time via a Redis lock, before they reach the broker.
• Handle to the winning task — a rejected caller gets the winner's task_id on the error, so it can await the winner's result instead of re-kicking.
• Atomic lock release — lock is released on completion or error via a Lua check-and-delete; only the owning task can release its lock.
• Configurable TTL — set a global default or override per task with the deduplication_ttl label.
• Lock heartbeat — a background task re-extends the lock TTL while the task runs, so long-running tasks keep their lock instead of expiring mid-execution and admitting a duplicate.
• Explicit lock key — pin any task to a fixed Redis key with deduplication_key, bypassing fingerprint computation entirely.
• Partial fingerprint — deduplicate on a subset of kwargs with deduplication_key_fields, ignoring irrelevant arguments (positional arguments are excluded).
• Per-task opt-out — disable deduplication for individual tasks with the deduplication label.
• Startup resilience — automatic reconnection with exponential backoff if Redis is unavailable at broker startup.
• Fail-open mode — opt in with fail_open to keep dispatching tasks when Redis is unreachable at runtime, trading deduplication for availability.
