Running With Sneakers

For those of you who want to embed the Sneaker running into their own apps/scripts, this is completely possible. A typical use case would be to create a stand-alone Ruby file that would define a worker and spawn the Sneakers worker cluster.

# my_worker.rb

require 'sneakers'
require 'sneakers/runner'

class MyWorker
  include Sneakers::Worker
  from_queue 'testing'

  def work(msg)
    logger.info "hello #{msg}"
  end
end

opts = {
  # what ever you want
}

Sneakers.configure(opts)
r = Sneakers::Runner.new([MyWorker])

r.run

Now running your script naively like this:

$ ruby my_worker.rb

Will both define the worker and spawn the Sneaker framework to life.
