Ralley vs RSMQ: What are the differences?

Developers describe Ralley as "Queue as a service". Simple, robust queue as service - that requires absolutely no setup as it works over HTTPS Simply prefix ANY https request with ralley.to/ and we’ll queue, and then forward the request with the exact same method/body/headers/parameters.

It lets you queue, retry, delay or schedule cron jobs - with a best-in-class job console to see exactly the status of every job.. On the other hand, RSMQ is detailed as "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.

Ralley and RSMQ can be primarily classified as "Message Queue" tools.

Some of the features offered by Ralley are:

• Queue
• Cron
• Delay

On the other hand, RSMQ provides the following key features:

• Lightweight: Just Redis and ~500 lines of javascript.
• Guaranteed delivery of a message to exactly one recipient within a messages visibility timeout.
• Received messages that are not deleted will reappear after the visibility timeout.

RSMQ is an open source tool with 1.37K GitHub stars and 104 GitHub forks. Here's a link to RSMQ's open source repository on GitHub.
