Resque recipe for EY Cloud
Resque is a Redis-backed Ruby library for creating background jobs, placing those jobs on multiple queues, and processing them later.
This recipe will setup resque
on a Solo instance environment or on named Utility instances in a cluster environment.
Name your Utility instances with prefixes: resque
. For example, resque
, or resque123
. Naming them all resque
works just fine.
This recipe assumes that redis is running within the environment. Fortunately, it is. By default EY Cloud runs redis on your solo
or db_master
instance. Optionally, this recipe will use a custom redis
utility instance that you might have in your environment. It's clever like that.
Installation
Simple Installation
To add this recipe to your collection of recipes, or as your first recipe, you can use the helpful ey-recipes
command line tool:
cd myapp
gem install engineyard engineyard-recipes
ey-recipes init
ey-recipes clone git://github.com/engineyard/eycloud-recipe-resque.git -n resque
ey recipes upload --apply
If you want to have your recipes run during deploy (rather than the separate ey recipes upload --apply
step):
ey-recipes init -d
ey-recipes clone git://github.com/engineyard/eycloud-recipe-resque.git -n resque
git add .; git commit -m "added delayed job recipe"; git push origin master
ey deploy
