1. Queue Everything & Please Everyone * * * Vaidik Kapoor

2. Who am I? ➔ Undergraduate student. ➔ Involved with: ✔

   Mozilla as a Contributor and Rep ✔ Drupal as a Contributor ➔ Twitter: @vaidikkapoor ➔ Github: vaidikkp ➔ Web: vaidikkapoor.info

3. Web Applications

4. Responsiveness

5. Why do everything at once? Task 1 Task 2 Task

   3 Task N Client Request Response

6. Break the Request-Response Cycle Task 1 Task 2 Task 3

   Task N Client Request Response

7. Meet Queues

8. What can Queues help with? ➔ Background Processing ✔ Data

   Processing ✔ Media Processing ✔ Updating Caches ➔ Anything that you want to offload off your server. ➔ Improve the overall User Experience

9. Redis + HotQueue / PyRes

10. Redis + HotQueue PRODUCER: from hotqueue import HotQueue queue =

    HotQueue("myqueue", host="localhost", port=6379, db=0) queue.put(message) CONSUMER / WORKER: from hotqueue import HotQueue queue = HotQueue("myqueue", host="localhost", port=6379, db=0) while True: message = queue.get() # do something awesome

11. Redis + PyRes ➔ Python clone of Github's Resque ➔

    Offers a lot more features than HotQueue ✔ Job failure handling ✔ Queue status information ➔ Comes with Monitoring System written in Ruby

12. Redis + PyRes PRODUCER: from pyres import ResQ r =

    Resq() class WebPage: queue = “screenies” @staticmethod def perform(urll): # save the screenshot r.enqueue(WebPage, 'http://python.org') CONSUMER: ./pyres_worker screenies

13. Message Queue A system for enabling asynchronous processing of discrete

    tasks.

14. What can MQs help with? ➔ Everything that generic Queues

    can help with. ➔ Increase Reliability ➔ Cron Jobs (Celery)

15. Available MQ Solutions ➔ RabbitMQ ➔ Amazon Simple Queue ➔

    Apache MQ ➔ Gearman ➔ Starling ➔ OpenAMQ ➔ Sun Java Message Queue System

16. Message Queue Protocols ➔ AMQP: Advanced Message Queue Protocol ➔

    JMS: Java Messaging Service ➔ STOMP: Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol

17. Criteria for Broker Selection ➔ Difficulty in Recovery ➔ Relatively

    low level of required maintenance ➔ Ease of Deployment ➔ Durability ➔ Persistence ➔ Community Support ➔ Cluster Support ➔ What language is it written in?

18. RabbitMQ ➔ A Message Broker ➔ Implements AMQP

19. Pika & Other AMQP Libraries

20. Celery ➔ An amazing Task Manager ➔ Batteries Included ➔

    Uses RabbitMQ as broker (or almost anything) ➔ Libraries for most of the common web frameworks like Django, Flask, Pyramid ➔ Supports multiprocessing. ➔ Distribute tasks easily. ➔ Makes life easy

21. Celery Example from celery.task import task @task(): def take_screenshot(url): #

    magical code to take screenshot comes here

22. How to put it all together?

23. Web App Broker Task Manager Worker Server (s) Database The

    General Setup

24. Then what?

25. Notify Your Users

26. Django's Messaging System

27. Flask's Flashes

28. Poll using AJAX

29. WebSockets

30. Email

31. Things to Remember

32. Isolate Isolate code, make reusable components.

33. Recycle Remove Request Dependency

34. Unit Testing?

35. Review ➔ Choose a system according to needs ➔ Build

    a robust system ➔ Integrate seamlessly with your UI ➔ Isolate & Recycle: make it a habit ➔ Improve the overall UX! ➔ Please everyone, even yourself!
