Cloudq Client

(In Development Mode)

Cloudq is a job queue system that allows you to publish or subscribe to queues anywhere in the cloud.

Cloudq_Client is a ruby implementation of the cloudq protocol that makes publishing jobs and consuming jobs in ruby, very easy.

For more information on the cloudq protocol see http://cloudq.heroku.com

You need a cloudq job server, if you do not have a cloudq job server to connect to, then you need to set one up. If you do have a cloudq server, then for this client to work you need the following:

• Ruby 1.9
• RubyGems

And the Cloudq Gem depends on the rest-client gem, but it should install when you install the gem.

gem install cloudq_client

require 'cloudq'

Cloudq::Connection.url = 'http://your.cloudq.server'

# Publish Job to a queue called - awesome

Cloudq::Publish(:awesome).job 'Awesome', :type => 'Sauce'

require 'cloudq'

Cloudq::Connection.url = 'http://your.cloudq.server'

# Check Q every 5 seconds
Cloudq::Worker.new(:awesome).run do
  print '.'
  sleep 5
end
