Example

Install metropolis

$ pip install metropolis

Define Worker task

from metropolis import Worker


worker = Worker(nats='nats://localhost:4222')


@worker.task(subject='foo.bar', queue='worker')
def mytask(data, *args, **kwargs):
    """Simple task which returns reverse string
    """

    return data[0][::-1]


worker.run()

Define Gateway

from metropolis import Gateway
import settings


gateway = Gateway(nats='nats://nats:4222')
gateway.app.run(host='0.0.0.0')
