Others have suggested their favored tools. I would add beanstalkd to the
list
http://kr.github.com/beanstalkd/
I like it since it comes with simple (memcached inspired) protocol and can
persist jobs.

We're exploring the approach of buffering updated entities in
memcached and writing them back to the database asynchronously. The
primary problem that we're concerned about is how to ensure that the
entity remains in the cache until the background process has a change
to write it.
Any advice and/or references would be greatly appreciated.
