It's similar to both of them (and they are similar to each other). Beanstalk has a simpler data model. It does not guarantee latency, but in practice is low latency. It currently does not use persistent storage for recovery from a crash or power outage (sometimes called "reliability") but will do so in the near future. Beanstalk is also tightly integrated into Rails via a plugin called Async Observer, which will be released later today. Similar integration will be easy to provide for other languages and environments. kr
