This release basically rewrites the inner workings of Mercury with no
changes to its functionality. Mercury is now divided into a few
different parts:
- The Mercury broker which is a standalone application
providing a message broker over WebSockets.
- Mercury::Controller classes which establish WebSocket connections
allow you to build a custom message broker using
Mojolicious and
Mojolicious::Plugin::Mercury.
Your custom broker can add authentication, logging, access control,
and other features.
- Mercury::Pattern classes which allow you to build your own messaging
patterns. This includes combining existing patterns to have a job
queue that also sends event notifications, for example. See
Mojolicious::Plugin::Mercury for
more details.
This new architecture should make it easy to enhance Mercury with new
features, and to add it into your own application.
There are still lots of features I want to add to the broker, including
administrative APIs, pluggable authentication, and access control. If
you'd like to help, join us on irc.perl.org #statocles.
