A repository for EventMachine (or anything based on EventMachine) examples
and so much more!
Because the event-driven programming model is so different to 'normal' programming,
good examples are critical to learning how to solve problems the 'event' way.
Got a non-trivial example? Please submit it to me for inclusion. It should
integrate more than one event-driven subsystem; no more 10 line echo server
examples! They are junk and don't teach much beyond a 30 second overview.
I'd like to see examples of calling:
3rd party web services
database (mysql or postgresql)
memcached
message queue processing
Examples
thin/thumbnailer.rb
A Thin-based thumbnail service which transparently pulls original images off S3 and thumbnails them according to URL parameters.
qanat
A SQS-based message queue processor. Qanat will process up to 10 messages concurrently.
Sidenote: Qanat is one of the few official Scrabble words which does
not contain a U. It is the Arabic word for an underground irrigation canal.
evented_magick
An eventmachine-aware version of MiniMagick which uses the EM.system call to increase performance.
