> Hello,
> I'm proud to present a module, already mentioned on the list a few days ago
> by Grzegorz Nosek, that provides nginx with API to communicate with
> supervisord.
>
> Initial release adds the ability to START and STOP backends (or any
> programs) on demand. If supervisord's [program:backend0] entry is configured
> with "startsecs" parameter, then supervisord (and ngx_supervisord) will wait
> that time before returning successful or failed status. This is of course
> done in asynchronous way, so it doesn't halt nginx for a moment.
>
> This simple feature, combined with load-aware load balancers (like Grzegorz
> Nosek's nginx-upstream-fair) can offer very powerful features (starting
> first backend when the first request arrives, starting/stopping backends on
> demand, depending on the load, etc, etc). Patch for nginx-upstream-fair is
> included in the release and it shows how easy all of this can be achieved.
>
> Current version allows only one module to "register" its monitors with
> ngx_supervisord, but as soon as there will be need for more (read: other
> modules will start using ngx_supervisord), this will be changed without any
> changes in the API.
>
> If something is unclear, just ask.
