Description

This repository contains the implementation of a service host-worker using different languages

┌─────────────┐   POSIX Queue (request)    ┌─────────────┐

Current languages

• C++
• Python
• Rust

Features

• IPC communication using POSIX queues

Scripts

We have multiple scripts to build and test the different services

Python

• runpython.sh : activate python virtual environment + Start service as host

#!/bin/bash
. ../venv/bin/activate
python3.11 ../python/main.py --host

C++

• buildcpp.sh : Compile Cpp code
• runcpp_host.sh : Start service host

#!/bin/bash
../cpp/build/host/cppservice

• runcpp_worker.sh : Start service worker

#!/bin/bash
../cpp/build/worker/cppservice

Rust

• buildrust.sh : Compile Rust code
• runrust.sh : Start service as worker

#!/bin/bash
../rust/target/debug/rsservice
