Adrian Weisberg recently wrote about various patterns of integrating Orbited and a web framework. We’ve been doing a lot of work to move towards direct integration with message queues as the routing mechanism between the web application and the browser. Many people don’t want to setup and run an extra process for development, so we’re moving towards integrating a trivial-to-deploy message queue that speaks the standard protocol STOMP. As Adrian writes:

ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ are fairly easy to install and use, but many people wanted something even easier and simpler for testing and basic deployments. Starting with 0.7, Orbited will feature a built-in basic STOMP message queue. The message queue has already been released as a Twisted-based daemon called Morbid. If you have setuptools installed, type easy_install morbid and then run orbited and morbid. Go into the Stomp demo and it should work! Once Orbited 0.7 is released you won’t even have to install Morbid.
