disque-worker is a small Node.js worker system using the new Disque project (made by @antirez the creator of Redis). It's really basic for now but working fine. It's based on node-redis client since Disque is similar to Redis in terms of connectivity and command execution.

You should have Disque server/cluster up and running. Let's assume its running locally on port 7711. (see install documentation on previous link)

Simply run npm install to install all external packages.

You can run unit tests using mocha :

mocha

Output should be something like :

disque-worker
✓ should be connected
✓ should add a job in queue
✓ should retrieve a job in the queue list


3 passing (44ms)

You can start a worker by typing in your shell :

nodejs example/worker_example.js

Then you can start pushing some new job in the queue and watch the worker executing them by launching the bench script :

nodejs example/bench.js

• Support unix socket connection
• Support cluster connection
• Add stats module

On May 29th 2015 Disque is still in beta mode so you can expect bugs/issues. Feel free to help by joining the project
