[LRUG] Queuing systems

[Neil Middleton]

Good point on the parallel processing - that will need some thought.

xMQ does seem to be the ideal solution - it's just a case of getting it hosted somehow reliably. We don't really want to get into messing about with hosting too much.

I'm wondering if this data needs persisting to disk, or whether you can get away with stashing it in RAM (possibly in a persistence backed key value store like Redis).
