Coffee-Resque Demo

@liangzan

Brief history

Do you have these?

• Persistence
• See what's pending
• Modify pending jobs in-place
• Tags
• Priorities
• Fast pushing and popping
• See what workers are doing
• See what workers have done
• See failed jobs
• Kill fat workers
• Kill stale workers
• Kill workers that are running too long
• Keep Rails loaded / persistent workers
• Distributed workers (run them on multiple machines)
• Workers can watch multiple (or all) tags
• Don't retry failed jobs
• Don't "release" failed jobs

Ruby Resque

A redis backed ruby library for creating background jobs

How it works

• enqueue jobs on queues on redis
• workers poll the queue and perform the job

Coffee-resque?

Coffeescript implementation

Rick Olson(@technoweenie)

What are the differences??

• No web frontend
• No plugins(yet)

Demo time - Enhancing the value of HDB flat

PAP - job is to enhance the value

Opposition - job is to keep the value affordable

Flat prices

Why use coffee-resque?

• node.js compatible
• fast?

When using the library

• Be careful of uncaught exceptions
• You MUST callback
• If the job is complex, put it in an object

Thoughts on Node.js

• Great for event driven apps
• Real easy to prototype network apps
• You are stuck with the aysnc model
• Code can get unwieldy if you're not careful
• Libs are good, increasing, but... not as mature yet

That's it!
