The PyCon live stream we did was a pretty good case study. We pretty much hacked together a pub/sub system on top on BLPOP, so it'd be even easier going forward. Hopefully we'll open source it :/ (we've been meaning to for a while now...)
- simonw 17y agoAwesome, I'll keep an eye out for that. Don't suppose you have any interesting numbers on traffic / performance etc?
- kingkilr 17y agoI don't have any numbers, but during Guido's keynote (which was twitter powered) tweetfall was too far behind live, so they switched to using our feed. We frequently got comments that we were updating faster than twitter.com was :)
- BrianHammond 17y agoRedis has native pubsub for a few weeks. A client can subscribe to channels by name or pattern, and publishers can publish messages to channels. The ruby, python, and node.js clients support non-BLPOP pubsub. We are starting to see some layers added atop this (e.g. NodeRed).
