Gilmour is a framework for writing micro-services that exchange data over non-http transports. Currently supported backends are AMQP and Redis PubSub. In both cases, topics (in case of AMQP) and channels (in case of Redis) are used like "routes". The DSL provided is similar to Sinatra.
Gilmour uses it's own simple protocol to send request and response "headers". The structure of the payload is a simple JSON as shown below:
{
data: The actual payload,
sender: The origin of the request (unique for each request),
code: The respoonse code if this is a response
}
The sender field actually represents a unique sender key. Any reponse that
is to be sent to the request is sent on the "reservered" topic
response.<sender> on the same exchange.

To run the specs, modify test/spec/helpers/amqp.yml to point to your rabbitmq or redis server.
Then, from within the test directory, run rspec spec/*
