extensible brokers and backend? about machinery HOT 3 CLOSED

@palanglung To implement a new broker or backend, you just need to follow these interfaces:

• https://github.com/RichardKnop/machinery/blob/master/v1/brokers/interfaces.go
• https://github.com/RichardKnop/machinery/blob/master/v1/backends/interfaces.go

The current factory is not very flexible, I agree. That is one of the things I would like to refactor.

Instead of prefixes I would like to instead make config object more robust so you can define connection details there without custom connection string formats.

from machinery.

I have made a prototype with Postgres here that works well.

The relevant points are:

• As @RichardKnop said, its a bit difficult to use external implementation with the current factory
• SQL databases do not fit well for tasks' broker because you need to poll the data

@mdouchement If you'd like to improve / refactor to make it easier to add custom external implementations, PRs welcome :)
