What are good message queue options for nodejs? [closed]
you could use redis with the lightning fast node_redis client. It even has built-in pubsub semantics.
You could use the node STOMP client. This would let you integrate with a variety of message queues including:
- ActiveMQ
- RabbitMQ
- HornetQ
I haven't used this library before, so I can't vouch for its quality. But STOMP is a pretty simple protocol so I suspect you can hack it into submission if necessary.
Another option is to use beanstalkd with node. beanstalkd is a very fast "task queue" written in C that is very good if you don't need the feature flexibility of the brokers listed above.
Shameless plug: I'm working on Bokeh: a simple, scalable and blazing-fast task queue built on ZeroMQ. It supports pluggable data stores for persisting tasks, currently in-memory, Redis and Riak are supported. Check it out.
