Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

RDBMS-based job queues have been criticized recently for being unable to handle heavy loads. And they deserve it, to some extent, because the queries used to safely lock a job have been pretty hairy. SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE works fine at first, but then you add more workers, and each is trying to SELECT FOR UPDATE the same row (and maybe throwing NOWAIT in there, then catching the errors and retrying), and things slow down.

On top of that, they have to actually update the row to mark it as locked, so the rest of your workers are sitting there waiting while one of them propagates its lock to disk (and the disks of however many servers you're replicating to). QueueClassic got some mileage out of the novel idea of randomly picking a row near the front of the queue to lock, but I can't still seem to get more than an an extra few hundred jobs per second out of it under heavy load.

So, many developers have started going straight t

Wrap Node's `child_process.spawn` with a promise interface that rejects if the process has an error, or exits with a code other than zero.
var spawn = require("child_process").spawn;
var Q = require("q");

* Wrap executing a command in a promise
* @param {string} command command to execute
* @param {Array<string>} args Arguments to the command.
* @param {string} cwd The working directory to run the command in.

Small linter using jsl which will detect python-style variable names and complain. Usable as a precommit hook with: git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep ".js" | xargs node lint.js
var lint = require('jsl')
, linter = lint();
linter.rule('variable > id',
function (node, subsource, alert) {
var var_name = node.name;
if (var_name.indexOf("_") !== -1) {
alert(node, 'Found variable name with underscores: ' + var_name);
}
}, 'error');

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discussions around concrete examples, not handy-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Raven.js configuration for logging JavaScript exceptions to Sentry (https://getsentry.com/). Without the added ignore options, you'll quickly find yourself swamped with unactionable exceptions due to shoddy browser plugins and 3rd party script errors.
