Recommended job queue

Interested in finding Meteor job queue. Besides what is listed in comments can anyone recommend any other Meteor job queues worth considering?

Also interested in any feedback/experiences with queues.

Thanks

Am I missing anything?

Not sure what exactly is meant by “job queue” but if it is what I think it is, then this thread can be helpful: http://crater.io/posts/cE6hFfXXiGfT2FmBw

@mattcam I write my tasks/micro-services in Python/Celery. I maintain a meteor package to call celery tasks from meteor / node. - https://github.com/3stack-software/meteor-celery

Celery is awesome - you can invoke tasks async, or set up schedules with celery-beat.

Also, you can monitor your task throughput/delay in AWS Cloudwatch with celery-cloudwatch

Downsides:

  1. Python isn’t a “fast” language, like Go
  2. No re-use of your lovely isomorphic javascript libraries/code

There’s one more option available for those still looking:

You can think of it it as running a regular method call, except it will be delayed to your preference.
