Using Julia program as computation backend

[Roman Kravchik]

I am building a web app for DSP tasks. It consists of SPA frontend, REST API Server, RabbitMQ and computation server.

And I want to use Julia lang for develop computation back-end.

Has anybody had some experience in integration Julia programs with AMQP message brokers?

P.S. I've read this topic.

Hi Roman,

Not a direct answer to your question, but you might check out node-julia (https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-julia), if you're open to including node in the soup of web components. 

Cheers,

Thanks for the link.

But it seems to be like CGI-style operation - eval julia expression and i'm not sure it's a perspective direction.

That's true.

I would say the easiest way would be to create Julia wrapper around one of existing clients, e.g. use PyCall.jl and Python's pika library [1].

Hmm, if I I'm understanding this correctly, then no, it's not CGI-like; there is no exec-ing of a process per call.

Hi Roman,

I have a simple toy model (Morsel) using REST API (well http anyway) that I'm happy with, but Julia Computing (i.e. Viral :)) is convincing me to go with JuliaWebAPI.jl (formally JuliaBox.jl). I'd be happy to see more people take interest and help improve JuliaWebAPI for exactly this purpose. It currently supports REST and ZeroMQ.

Best regards,

Eric

I have to admit that I looked at Morsel and JuliaWebAPI (back when it was JuliaBox.jl).    I found Morsel to have a more intuitive API in the way you describe your routes.

But looks like Mux might be an even better solution.

Oh nice. I hadn't seen Mux.jl. Thanks.
