In the age of ubiquitous connectivity, distributed servers have become
readily available and usable. Gearman, a friendly infrastructure for
distributed tasks, gives developers and DBAs a large degree of flexibility
in their applications. Using Gearman, developers can access libraries
written in multiple languages, even if they are different from the ones
used in their main application. DBAs will benefit from Gearman in their
daily tasks, by accessing external features from within the database server
itself. This session introduces Gearman principles and shows some simple
usage of the system.
