Please vote for Services_Amazon_SQS

Hello, Amazon's Simple Queue Service [1] (SQS) provides a scalable distributed queue. SQS is helpful for batching up large, distributed jobs (like image or video processing) or for linking together different systems. Using SQS, you can distribute jobs between any number of different systems (Amazon EC2 images, systems in a local cluster, the computer in your basement, etc..). The PEAR proposal Services_Amazon_SQS [2] covers the full API, wrapping it in easy-to-use objects. The code is adapted with permission from simple-aws [3] for inclusion in PEAR. A command-line tool (written in PHP) for working with queues is also provided. It allows listing, creating and deleting queues. Services_Amazon_SQS makes use of the new Crypt_HMAC2 and HTTP_Request2 packages. It's also been successfully used on a silverorange project to manage the processing of hundreds of thousands of images. Voting ends on Thursday, please vote for this package to be included in PEAR :) Thanks, Mike [1] http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/ [2] http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=582 [3] http://code.google.com/p/simple-aws/
