Goose: The sidekick for Clojure

Simple, Reliable & Scalable background processing library for Clojure.

Features

Simplicity is Complicated. We've strived to make Goose as simple as possible.

• A functional interface
• Reliable - Code/Hardware/Network failure won't cause data loss
• Cloud-Native Architecture
• Lean, Expressive, Transparent & Extensible
• Plug-and-play, minimal setup with sane defaults
• Concurrency & Parallelism using Java thread-pools
• Unit & Integration Tests 🙂

Getting Started

Note: Goose will be ready for production usage after completion of Project 0.2

Client

(ns my-app
  (:require [goose.client :as c]))

(defn my-background-fn
  [arg1 arg2]
  (println "my-background-fn called with" arg1 arg2))

(c/perform-async c/default-opts `my-background-fn "foo" :bar)
(c/perform-in-sec c/default-opts 3600 `my-background-fn "scheduled" 123)

Worker

(ns my-worker
  (:require [goose.worker :as w]))

(let [worker (w/start w/default-opts)]
  ; ... wait for SIGINT or SIGTERM ...
  (w/stop worker))

Custom Configuration

Goose provisions custom configuration for Message-Broker, Priority Queues, Scheduling, Error-Handling & Retrying, Logging, & Worker Config. Details can be found in the respective Wikis (awaiting completion).
