awesome-farm | automatic data-encapsulating background job system

awesome-farm is a C library. awesome-farm has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

I'm a C newbie from the Ruby land. When working with Ruby, I always feel that the language is trying to make developers happy, in exchange for a lot of abstractions, performance penalties, etc. There aren't much similarities between C and Ruby. One common pattern used in Ruby is to leverage background job system to offload heavy tasks out of latency-sensitive tasks. There are some major players in Ruby land supporting this pattern is Sidekiq. It is a multi-threaded background processing system that provides a lot of magic to simplify the interface and boilerplate. Just simple like this:. The data type encapsulation, message queuing, function call dispatching is faded from the developers so that they just need to focus in the processing logic. Besides, Sidekiq provides many advanced features, such as automatically retrying, advanced time scheduling, logging, etc. All of the above makes me wonder, what if I adopt (clone) sidekiq features and move it to C? That's why I create Awesome Farm, which is a multi-threaded, automatic data-encapsulating background job system for C.
