Scaling Firehose.io

[Fernando A]

I was at the Railsconf talk in Austin. I know you can scale RabbitMQ but was wondering how that would work with Firehose.io and the front end Thin web server.

Basically I'm asking is if you can cluster with Firehose.io

Yep, the goal is that you end up with something that looks like:

  [ Public Internet ] => [ HAProxy ] => [ Thin Cluster ] => [ RabbitMQ ]

You could use something like Foreman to manage booting the thin cluster:

# Procfile

firehose: bundle exec firehose -p $PORT

or you can mount Firehose as a rack app like https://github.com/polleverywhere/firehose/blob/master/lib/firehose/cli.rb#L11

Longer term, I'd like to get rid of these moving parts so that the picture looks more like:

  [ Public Internet ] => [ Firehose.io Server ]
