A proof of concept - connecting Ruby with Elixir via RabbitMQ

1. Make sure you have Ruby installed
2. Make sure you have Elixir installed
3. Make sure you have RabbitMQ installed

You need to run RabbutMQ server. To do that execute:

rabbitmq-server

Now, it's available on your localhost and is waiting to accept any connection.

Once you have everything installed, you need to fetch all dependencies for each project.

cd rabbit_elixir
mix deps.get

cd rabbit_ruby
bundle

Run Elixir application:

cd rabbit_elixir
mix run --no-halt

Run Ruby application:

cd rabbit_ruby
bundle exec ruby bunny.rb

This simple program sends a number from Ruby to Elixir application. You should see a message like:

Consumed a 1.
