using celluloid to communicate between services on different servers

[Marcelo Barbudas]

Hi.

I'm trying to figure out if I can use celluloid for my current task: I have a Rails app(master) and 3 processes on different nodes doing different things (slaves).

I would like to be able to:

* use the master to tell slaves to perform various tasks. either async or not.

* if slaves are down the messages should stay in the queue and not get lost. once the slaves are up the job should get processed.

If it's possible how can I build it? I can see in the docs that there is a celluloid:io but there's no examples of a master executing tasks on it.

Thank you, and apologies for the noob questions.

Ditto to either of these solutions. Both meet the basic description of the problem you've given so the devil is in the details. Sidekiq is more of a general purpose job queue, whereas DCell is more of a toolkit for building distributed systems.
