Kanban

#+TITLE: kanban - Agile Workflow for Ruby

• Description

  Kanban provides tools to model task flow in distributed apps.

** Create a Backlog

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby require 'redis' require 'kanban'

 backlog = Kanban::Backlog.new backend: Redis.new

#+END_SRC

** Add some tasks to your shiny new Backlog

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby task = { 'foo' => 'bar' } 5.times { backlog.add task } #+END_SRC

** (Elsewhere) Stake a claim on a task from the backlog

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby task_id = backlog.claim # Will block until there is a task, if the backlog is empty or all tasks are being worked. details = backlog.get task_id #+END_SRC

** Mark a task as complete (or unworkable)

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby backlog.complete task_id # or backlog.unworkable task_id backlog.done? task_id # => true #+END_SRC

• Notes

  • Claims expire after awhile (default 3 seconds), and become eligible to be worked by something else.
