shimmer analogue for Plumber processes? #1

Open colearendt opened 5 years ago

How much of shimmer could be reused to simulate Plumber processes? plimmer doesn't have the same ring to it... so maybe Plumber simulation fits within shimmer's scope?

Curious if much of the architecture can be re-used and the nature of the "load" could be changed to make more sense in a non-interactive context

Shimmer doesn't, in reality, simulate shiny. It simulates a set of parallel queues, each with a known startup and response time.

From that perspective a plumber process and a shiny process is probably very, very similar.
