#txScale

This package aims to provide the following overarching features, tightly integrated with Twisted.

(Put the word "Easy" at the beginning of each of these points...)

• Development of stateless RPC services (maybe with multiple different protocols)
• Deployment of those RPC services
• Scaling of those RPC services to multiple cores and multiple servers.
• Exposure of these scalable services over standard public protocols (for now, a straightforward JSON/HTTP API).

Some random notes:

• I'm going to be experimenting with Redis as a transport for requests and responses.
• I'm also going to implement an AMQP backend, as I've done that before and I know it works.
• Scaling up an RPC server should be as easy as running another instance of it, with a common configuration.
• Internal and public APIs should be implemented in the same way.
• I'm really not opinionated about the RPC protocol to use. Avro, Thrift, protobuf, JSON junk, it's all the same to me.
• There will be opinions, however, about how AMQP and Redis are used to get a trivially configured scalable service.
• I'm also a little opinionated about how the HTTP-based public API should work.
