No(de) MQ, allows you to create MQ-like patterns, without the overhead of an MQ server. It's mission is to stay very lightweight but fully functional, Redis is used for transport and persistance.

This pattern allows you to create workers for one or more requesters. The following Requester asks it's workers to multiply the value by two:

r = new Requester('timestwo');

r.on('reply', function(msg) {
	return console.log("" + msg.value + " * 2 = " + msg.answer);
});

counter = 0;

setInterval(function() {
	return r.request({
	  "value": ++counter
	});
}, 100);

This is the accompanying worker:

r = new Replier('timestwo');

r.on('request', function(msg) {
	console.log("received msg: " + (JSON.stringify(msg)));
	msg.answer = msg.value * 2;
	return this.reply(msg);
});

The idea is that you create requester and worker with the same 'identity' (in this case timestwo), the Requester issues requests, while the Replier answers them. These can be totally different processes, eventually on different machines.
