factoryjoe : Beanstalkd - Software - xph.us - beanstalkd is a fast, distributed, in-memory workqueue service. Its interface is generic, but is intended for use in reducing the latency of page views in high-volume web applications by running most time-consuming tasks asynchronously.
Simon Willison : Beanstalkd - Beanstalkd. This is the light-weight cross-language queue I’ve been waiting for. Similar to Starling but your workers don’t need to poll for new jobs; you can call the blocking “reserve” call instead.
bmilleare : Beanstalkd - Nice queuing daemon - beats using Amazon SQS IMO
