Upperkut

[Docs]

Background processing framework for Ruby applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'upperkut'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install upperkut

Usage

Example 1 - Buffered Queue:

1. Create a Worker class and the define how to process the batch;

class MyWorker
  include Upperkut::Worker

  def perform(batch_items)
    heavy_processing(batch_items)
    process_metrics(batch_items)
  end
end

2. Start pushing items;

MyWorker.push_items(
  [
    {
      'id' => SecureRandom.uuid,
      'name' => 'Robert C Hall',
      'action' => 'EMAIL_OPENNED'
    }
  ]
)

3. Start Upperkut;

$ bundle exec upperkut --worker MyWorker --concurrency 10

Example 2 - Scheduled Queue:

1. Create a Worker class and the define how to process the batch;

require 'upperkut/strategies/scheduled_queue'
class MyWorker
  include Upperkut::Worker

  setup_upperkut do |config|
    config.strategy = Upperkut::Strategies::ScheduledQueue.new(self)
  end

  def perform(batch_items)
    heavy_processing(batch_items)
    process_metrics(batch_items)
  end
end

2. Start pushing items with timestamp parameter;

# timestamp is 'Thu, 10 May 2019 23:43:58 GMT'
MyWorker.push_items(
  [
    {
      'timestamp' => '1557531838',
      'id' => SecureRandom.uuid,
      'name' => 'Robert C Hall',
      'action' => 'SEND_NOTIFICATION'
    }
  ]
)

3. Start Upperkut;

$ bundle exec upperkut --worker MyWorker --concurrency 10

Example 3 - Priority Queue:

Note: priority queues requires redis 5.0.0+ as it uses ZPOP* commands.

1. Create a Worker class and the define how to process the batch;

require 'upperkut/strategies/priority_queue'

class MyWorker
  include Upperkut::Worker

  setup_upperkut do |config|
    config.strategy = Upperkut::Strategies::PriorityQueue.new(
      self,
      priority_key: -> { |item| item['tenant_id'] }
    )
  end

  def perform(items)
    items.each do |item|
      puts "event dispatched: #{item.inspect}"
    end
  end
end

2. So you can enqueue items from different tenants;

MyWorker.push_items(
  [
    { 'tenant_id' => 1, 'id' => 1 },
    { 'tenant_id' => 1, 'id' => 2 },
    { 'tenant_id' => 1, 'id' => 3 },
    { 'tenant_id' => 2, 'id' => 4 },
    { 'tenant_id' => 3, 'id' => 5 },
  ]
)

The code above will enqueue items as follows 1, 4, 5, 2, 3

3. Start Upperkut;

$ bundle exec upperkut --worker MyWorker --concurrency 10

Development

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rspec to run the tests.
