Restalk

Restalk is an abstraction layer for beanstalk and resque (other queue mechanisms welcome).

It's a quick hack to allow me to quickly and simply move a project from one to the other.

It has a very simple interface:

Restalk.init(:resque) # Create a connection to the backend (in this case, resque)
Restalk.push(object)  # Push something onto the queue
Restalk.pop           # Pop something off the queue

Restalk.connected?    # Test whether init has been called
Restalk.stats         # Statistics (whatever the backend gives us - could be gibberish)

Configuration

Servers: Restalk defaults to '127.0.0.1:11300' for beanstalk and 'localhost:6379' for resque.

Queue: Restalk names the queue, highly imaginatively, 'restalk_queue'

These can be configured easily via environment variables - ENV['BEANSTALK'], ENV['REDIS'] and ENV['RESQUE_QUEUE'].
