<p><strong><a href="http://antirez.com/post/redis-weekly-update-3-publish-submit.html">Redis weekly update #3 - Pub/Sub and more</a></strong></p> Redis is now a publish/subscribe server—and it ended up only taking 150 lines of C code since Redis internals were already based on that paradigm. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/c">c</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nosql">nosql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pubsub">pubsub</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/redis">redis</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/">pubsubhubbub</a></strong></p> From Brad Fitzpatrick, a simple but clever way of using web hooks (HTTP callbacks) to inform subscribers that an Atom feed has updated in almost real-time—solving the constant polling problem and making it easier for small sites to offer publish-subscribe APIs. Any Atom feed can delegate subscriber updates to a “hub” server. An example hub server implementation is provided running on App Engine. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/atom">atom</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/brad-fitzpatrick">brad-fitzpatrick</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google-app-engine">google-app-engine</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pubsub">pubsub</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pubsubhubbub">pubsubhubbub</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/realtime">realtime</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/webhooks">webhooks</a></p>
