PiCloud's (http://www.picloud.com) latest feature gives Python users a distributed, fault-tolerant message queue with a scalable message processing system. We ensure that you never lose any messages, and that they're processed at the speed you need--even thousands of messages per second. More information: Blog Post: http://blog.picloud.com/2013/04/03/introducing-queues-creating-a-pipeline-in... Documentation: http://docs.picloud.com/queue.html What's it for? Queues let you decouple discrete components of your application, and simplify communication between them as the pushing and popping of messages. Queues are perfect for integrating PiCloud into a web application backend, or any realtime, high-throughput system. If your workloads have been too short (< 1s) to use our job system effectively, or you've found difficulty creating a multi-stage pipeline with jobs, then you'll want to give queues a try! You'll need the latest cloud library v2.7.7 to use the feature. Best Regards, John
