Use without event machine?

[jgeiger]

I'm wondering if it's possible to use this (or modify it) without
event machine. I'd like to use it as a replacement for my current
beanstalkd messaging system, but I'm running into issues with the
threading and callbacks with apache/passenger.

It seems to be a layer of complexity that I'm not sure I need right
now since the application is really meant for a single user to
distribute and process long running work chunks.

AMQP was built specifically on top of EM and requires EM to work. It
should be possible to use EM with passenger, see
http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-amqp/msg/b20a0c96a3844b93. What
problems are you running into?

Also, Doug's been working on a synchronous client you could try:

Finally, I'm curious why you decided to switch from beanstalkd?

I'm playing around and things seem to be just off. I guess I'm coming
from SQS -> beanstalkd where I have a MessageQueue model that has a
get_message and a send_message. I can then swap out the backend as
needed. I can see the benefit of the async, but I had to move on to
another project before I could get it completely working.

I'm trying to move from beanstalkd because of the persistence. It's
working for what I need now, but I'm trying to find a message queue I
can use outside of EC2 on local servers for other projects, and just
wanted to play around with rabbitmq. I need something closer to XMPP
without being XMPP as well.
