Primary LanguageScala

Broadcast.x: a broadcast plateform for push notification and alerting

Based on Vert.x and written in scala

In progress: a MQTT broker

Next? (random ideas)

  • A JSON equivalent of MQTT for web client (through SockJS)
  • Support for Stomp for both TCP and HTTP: don't Stomp without a Sock...
  • Gateway to Redis
  • Gateway to AMQP

Broker

Compile:

sbt
> compile
> project broadcast-mqtt
> prepareDist

All dependencies are then copied into lib_dist and can be easily added to the verticle classpath

Launch:

vertx run broadcast.mqtt.vertx.MqttBroker -cp broadcastx-mqtt/target/scala-2.9.2/classes:lib_dist/scala-library.jar:lib_dist/slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar:lib_dist/logback-classic-1.0.3.jar:lib_dist/logback-core-1.0.3.jar

Vert.x

Unlike Node.js Vert.x doesn’t make you do everything on an event loop. You can choose instead to run long running tasks or blocking calls using a thread pool if that’s more appropriate.
