Can I send message directly by redis client on rails app?

[jerryc-nguyen]

Hi,
First of all, many thanks for your great message queue implement using redis. Before known your lib, I try to use rabbitmq to setup message queue system for my app. But it's seem to be overkill and hard to maintain. Now I see your lib, It's seem to be very easy to use and redis server already running in my app. It's really cool.
So I wonder there is a way to use redis client on my rails app to push messages to my nodejs app directly?. I see you have made the rest-rsmq to easy communication between these apps. But I see it will hurt the performance when app have numerous concurrent request.
Looking forward to hearing from you, many thanks.

Hi,
until you already using redis it should be possible push messaged directly into the rsmq data structures.
Details can be found here: https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq/blob/master/_docs/redis_data_structure.md

The redis multi call writing the message can be found here: https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq/blob/master/index.coffee#L425

I would recommend to create a rsmq ruby module (i guess it's called ruby Gem) and publish it so other people can use it ;-)

Sorry for a long time to reply. Currently, I use redis pub-sub to communicate between these apps. It works as my expected for now. So I close this issue. Many thanks.
