>From description such architecture looks simple, but from my experience it's far from simple to built such a system.
There are questions like - who will keep an eye on monitoring and restarting died agents. - where to store data? - what to do if data sent to died agent? Should it be recovered and restarted? - how to restart and restore state of died agents? - how much agents start on one machine? how to measure, distribute and balance load? How to add new machine or fix broken? ... And all this becomes even more complex if there are requirements for transactions or atomicity of operations. I'd suggest to not to built such system and instead fake it with simpler approaches. I.e. message queues, databases, stateless workers. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
