Consumer/processor component #42

Open Shmuma opened 3 years ago

Shmuma commented 3 years ago

Current set of components are good to design simple web-based apps, but in practice there are more cases. For example, almost immediately I missed “consumer” or “processor” - worker which consumes MQ messages and transforms them. In general they can do multiple requests, not just transformations, for example it can consume “crawling requests” which contains domain names, perform the crawling of the website (HTTP requests) and push results into another MQ queue.

Sounds good, I'll look into it.

Hi, I'm reading more into this now and can't kinda understand what would make this "processor" component so unique. Right now, you can connect API component as a consumer, which can then send requests to another MQ, I don't see the differece.

For example how could I build a 3 way connection as processor that consumes a queue as input, requests to other services to enrich and then pushes the result into another queue
