Best practice beanstalkd (queue) and node.js

Question

I currently do service using beanstalkd and node.js. I would like when jobs fail, retry n time before give up the job. If the job succede i want do it the same job 10 time. So, what is the best practice, stock in mongo db with the jobId the error and success count, or delete and put a new job with a an error and success count in the body.

I dont know if i'm clear? so tell me , thanks a lot

Answer 1

You have a couple of ways to do this:

• you can release the job, and obtain from stats the number of reserves
• you can put a new job with a retry count, and keep track of history in the data payload

You should do the later, and you don't need MongoDB as a second dependency.
