pg-amqp-bridge

This tool enables a decoupled architecture, think sending emails when a user signs up. Instead of having explicit code in your signup function that does the work (and slows down your response), you just have to worry about inserting the row into the database. After this, a database trigger (see below) will generate an event which gets sent to RabbitMQ. From there, you can have multiple consumers reacting to that event (send signup email, send sms notification). Those consumers tend to be very short, self contained scripts. If you pair pg-amqp-bridge and the Web STOMP plugin for RabbitMQ , you can enable real time updates with almost zero code. The larger goal is to enable the development of backends around PostgREST/subZero philosophy. Check out the PostgREST Starter Kit to see how pg-amqp-bridge fits in a larger project.
