What are good message queue options for nodejs

Question

Looking to use a message queue in a small web app I m building with node js  I looked at resque but not sure that s appropriate  The goal is to push notifications to clients based on backend and other client actions with socketio  I could do this with just socketio but I thought maybe a proper message queue would make this cleaner and I wouldn t have to reinvent the wheel    What are the options out there

Take a look at node-busmq - it s a production grade  highly available and scalable message bus backed by redis    I wrote this module for our global cloud and it s currently deployed in our production environment in several datacenters around the world  It supports named queues  peer-to-peer communication  guaranteed delivery and federation   For more information on why we created this module you can read this blog post  All Aboard The Message Bus

You could use the node STOMP client   This would let you integrate with a variety of message queues including    ActiveMQ RabbitMQ HornetQ   I haven t used this library before  so I can t vouch for its quality   But STOMP is a pretty simple protocol so I suspect you can hack it into submission if necessary   Another option is to use beanstalkd with node   beanstalkd is a very fast  task queue  written in C that is very good if you don t need the feature flexibility of the brokers listed above

Here s a couple of recommendations I can make   node-amqp  A RabbitMQ client that I have successfully used in combination with Socket IO to make a real-time multi-player game and chat application amongst other things  Seems reliable enough   zeromq node  If you want to go down the non-brokered route this might be worth a look  More work to implement functionality but your more likely to get lower latency and higher throughput

I used KUE with socketIO like you described  I stored the socketID with the job and could then retreive it in the Job Complete   KUE is based on redis and has good examples on github  something like this       jobs process  YourQueuedJob  10  function job  done       doTheJob job  done         function doTheJob job  done       var socket   io sockets sockets job data socketId       try           socket emit  news     status    completed    task   job data task           catch err           io sockets emit  news     status    fail    task   job data task   socketId  job data socketId              job complete

Look at node-queue-lib  Perhaps it is enough that you  It support node js and browsers  Has two delivery strategies  broadcast and round-robin  Only javascript   Quick example   var Queue   require  node-queue-lib queue core     var queue   new Queue  Queue name    broadcast        subscribe on  Queue name  messages queue subscribe function  err  subscriber        subscriber on  error   function err                          subscriber on  data   function  data  accept            console log data           accept       accept process message                 publish message queue publish  test
