Introduction

hique is heavily inspired by kue and bee-queue, and after using both frameworks pretty extensively I found that, though very well written, these frameworks do not fulfill two of my most desired aspects in:

• Stability
• Scalability

hique was designed with these in mind.

Stability

hique differs from most frameworks by sacrificing a bit of performance to gain a much more stable environment, even when scaled up on different machines.

Scalability

To scale hique to available cpus / machines, simply create a NodeJS process with a hique worker pointing to the same monitor object as every other worker and voila! scaling done easy.

Installation

NPM

npm install hique

GitHub

npm install git+https://github.com/patriceperez/hique.git
