Failover Beanstalkd configuration

[zuhaib]

Hi,

I am tasked with maintaining our beanstalkd server and one issue that
keeps coming up is the issue of what to do if our Beanstalkd server
goes offline. Since we are on AWS this is very possible as they treat
servers as "throw away". I understand some of the beanstalkd client
support pooling but I cant see that do this for Java or Node.JS (we
use both). What are some ideas/techniques I can take to help improve
this without writing/hacking our own client.

Thanks
Zuhaib

I'm interested in hearing about this as well. I just posted a
question on ServerFault, and then found this post here.

I also want to know if beanstalkd support master/slave mode

This has come up a few times, but there's nothing built in
to beanstalkd.

Note, if you're only concerned with maintaining *service*,
and don't worry about losing *data*, you can get better
availability easily by running two or more independent
beanstalkds on different hardware.
