I'm playing around with node.js, trying to re-write a particularly poorly designed part of my production system at work. So far, so good, I use rabbitmq for messaging, and my node.js part of the system runs ghostscript command line tool to convert tiff files to pdf. Obviously I need to make sure I'm not running more than some fixed amount of conversions at a time. What would be the best way to do this with node? I understand that maybe node.js isn't really about running heavy disk IO stuff, but I'm having too much fun with it to quit. I was considering just using a blocking call to execute command line utilities but the thing is that some messages don't require this conversion and there's no need to delay their processing.
