Aims

• To provide a generic way for consuming beanstalkd jobs without all of the boiler plate code
• To provide an easy way to spin up concurrent worker Go routines
• To use Go's interfaces to make unit testing your workers easy

Details

The library is broken down into the following components:

• JobManager interface - represents a way to handle a job's lifecycle.
• RawJob - an implementation of JobManager for managing a Raw job's life cycle.
• Worker - an implementation of a beanstalkd client process that consumes raw jobs from one or more tubes. It will automatically reconnect to beanstalkd server if it loses the connection.
