What are good message queue options for nodejs? [closed]

Answer 1

you could use redis with the lightning fast node_redis client. It even has built-in pubsub semantics.

Answer 2

How about Azure ServiceBus? It supports nodejs.

Answer 3

I used KUE with socketIO like you described. I stored the socketID with the job and could then retreive it in the Job Complete.. KUE is based on redis and has good examples on github

something like this....

jobs.process('YourQueuedJob',10, function(job, done){
    doTheJob(job, done);
});


function doTheJob(job, done){
    var socket = io.sockets.sockets[job.data.socketId];
    try {
        socket.emit('news', { status : 'completed' , task : job.data.task });
    } catch(err){
        io.sockets.emit('news', { status : 'fail' , task : job.data.task , socketId: job.data.socketId});
    }
    job.complete();
}

kue is the only message queue you would ever need

Answer 6

I recommend trying Kestrel, it's fast and simple as Beanstalk but supports fanout queues. Speaks memcached. It's built using Scala and used at Twitter.
