Scaling multiplayer

[Jason Foley]

I found this about to scaling a game server to 1,000,000 users.

Has anyone worked with message queues, like RabbitMQ or 0MQ?

Hey folks,

I've used Redis pretty extensively—it's not quite the same as ActiveMQ / RabbitMQ, but it allows you to create in-memory queues, lists, and key-value stores that you can query extremely fast. Pretty cool stuff! I'd be happy to help out if anybody has questions about it.

Redis is great for simple key-value stores but should not really be used for large, asynchronous message queueing.  I've had some success in projects with RabbitMQ, generally when you want more of an asynchronous bus architecture.
