Twitter releases the code for the messaging system they use across their clusters
- joshwa 19y agoHas anyone actually looked at this code yet? Documentation? Wish they'd put up a SVN browser so I don't have to download it to see what it looks like.
- pius 19y agoUsually you can browse Rubyforge code like so: http://starling.rubyforge.org/svn/ http://starling.rubyforge.org/svn/ That only works if the project used Rubyforge's Subversion repository.
- ijoshua 19y agoI looked at it very briefly. The codebase is actually pretty small. It appears to depend heavily on memcached.
- codeslinger 19y agoYay! Finally... Blaine was talking about releasing this for months; glad he finally got around to it :)
- bayareaguy 19y agoIt's interesting that its own server (starling) uses the Memcached protocol. From the readme: Starling - a light weight server for reliable distributed message passing. = Synopsis # Start the Starling server as a daemonized process: starling -h 192.168.1.1 -d # Put messages onto a queue: require 'memcache' starling = MemCache.new('192.168.1.1:22122') starling.set('my_queue', 12345) # Get messages from the queue: require 'memcache' starling = MemCache.new('192.168.1.1:22122') loop { puts starling.get('my_queue') }
