Hi folks, I started playing with Beanstalk lately and I'm impressed. Its lightweight server process, minimalist protocol, and narrow focus on job queueing seem to make it a strong contender against other queueing systems I've used (most notably AMQP/RabbitMQ, Kestrel, Resque, and Delayed Job).
My question is about whether anyone has considered (or would consider) a patch to add optional SASL authentication to beanstalkd. This would make it more suitable for running in cloud environments like Amazon EC2, where dynamic IP addresses, elastic server provisioning (e.g. spin up and spin down of server instances can happen on the fly), and multitenancy make IP-based authentication difficult or impossible to use. For example, memcached recently added SASL support for precisely this reason: http://blog.northscale.com/northscale-blog/2009/11/sasl-memcached-now-available.html http://github.com/memcached/memcached/commit/f1307c4d9cadb94076a99cc2f88a00f7e0b4161f Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beanstalk-talk" group.
