RSMQ vs simplehttp: What are the differences?
What is RSMQ? A lightweight message queue for Node.js that requires no dedicated queue server. Just a Redis server. tl;dr: If you run a Redis server and currently use Amazon SQS or a similar message queue you might as well use this fast little replacement. Using a shared Redis server multiple Node.js processes can send / receive messages.
What is simplehttp? A family of libraries and daemons built upon libevent that make high performance HTTP servers simple and straightforward to write. .
RSMQ and simplehttp belong to "Message Queue" category of the tech stack.
RSMQ and simplehttp are both open source tools. It seems that RSMQ with 1.07K GitHub stars and 78 forks on GitHub has more adoption than simplehttp with 480 GitHub stars and 73 GitHub forks.
