Hi Kevin, I have written a similar module (https://github.com/mcollina/kanban) for pipeline-processing. However our concern was about reducing parallelism of spawned processes. >From the readme:
var kanban = require("kanban"); var board = new kanban.Board(); Then, you define some tasks: board.defineStep("fast", { wip: 2 }, function (obj, done) { console.log("Fast step started for " + obj); setTimeout(function () { console.log("Fast step done for " + obj); done(); }, 1000); }); board.defineStep("buffer"); board.defineStep("slow", { wip: 1 }, function (obj, done) { console.log("Slow step started for " + obj); setTimeout(function () { console.log("Slow step done for " + obj); done(); }, 5000); }); Note that the second and third parameters are optional. Finally you insert some jobs in the *Board*: var print = function (err, job) { // job is an instance of the Job class console.dir(job); }; for (var i = 0; i < 15; i++) { board.insert(i, print); } Your API seems a lot nicer than mine, but the usage should be quite similar at least in the basic example. Limiting the concurrency is something you might be interested into?
