sandglass

We have hosted the application sandglass in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about sandglass:

Sandglass is a distributed, horizontally scalable, persistent, time-ordered message queue. It was developed to support asynchronous tasks and message scheduling which makes it suitable for usage as a task queue. This is a prototype of a side project. This should not be used in production in its current form as things may change quickly without notice. As previously asked (#4), the purpose of this project might not seem clear. In short, there is two goals. The first is to be able to track each message individually (i.e. not using a single commit offset) to make it suitable for asynchronous tasks. The second is the ability to schedule messages to be consumed in the future. This makes it suitable for retries.

Features:

• Horizontal scalability
• Highly available
• Persistent storage
• Time ordered
• Multiple consumers per group for a partition
• Produce message to be consumed in the future
• Acknowledge/NotAcknowledge each message individualy

Programming Language: Go.
