Distro

Distro is an opinionated toolchain to facilitate distributed work in ruby, simply.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'distro'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install distro

Acceptance Criteria

Distro is currently being designed as a modular library with sensible default implementations of the interfaces it presents; presently, the following is acceptance criteria:

• isolated, replacable, modular interfaces (and default implementations) for
  • command-and-control,
  • loging,
  • queue,
  • metadata, and
  • performers;
• absolute bare-minimum secondary runtime dependencies;
• clear insight into:
  • what work has been done,
  • what work has failed, and
  • what work is pending;
• concurrency-safe tools for managment to handle
  • mitigation of failed work,
  • job control,
  • performer control; and
• tools for testing dependant application code; and
• a clear path from a zero-dependency install to production at scale.
