node-salsify

Like celery for node.js.

Uses AWS Simple Queue Service or an in memory queue for moving messages around. More backends will be added as needed.

Todo

• Support storing results somehow.

Usage

Have a look at ./examples ot ./test/salsify.test.js, but basically:

// Here is a simple worker bin.
var salsify = require('salsify').configure(function(done){
    salsify.key = 'myAwsKey';
    salsify.secret = 'myAwsSecret';
    done();
}).use('sqs');

new salsify.Worker()
    .on('job', function(data, done){
        console.log('Got a job', data);
        done(null, true);
    })
    .listen('myqueue');

// Then in your app, you can push messages to it.
var salsify = require('salsify').configure(function(done){
    salsify.key = 'myAwsKey';
    salsify.secret = 'myAwsSecret';
    done();
}).use('sqs');

// ... Some app code and stuff ...
function doSomethingLater(){
    salsify.delay('myqueue', {'a': 'Any object you want'});
}
