simple-thrift-queue (via) Phillip Pearson’s surprisingly concise in-memory message queue written in Python using Facebook’s Thrift library (which is similar to Protocol Buffers, but was open sourced much earlier on). Handles 4,000 requests per second on a laptop.

  1. That is amazing. I've built a cross-language queue system based around memcached myself, but 4.000 reqs/s is fast.

  2. Be warned - I describe it as a "toy in-memory queue" for a reason; it's not very smart :)

    That said, I was very pleased with how little effort it took to get it up and running with Thrift.
