I have a high-throughput WSGI app that receives many POSTs per second from a remote server and writes documents to a couchdb server. Currently, the writes to couchdb can only happen between request and response. That means

  1. if writes to couchdb are slow, then the client must sit waiting for a response while we write to the database, and
  2. if there are problems writing to the couchdb server, there is no way to wait a few minutes and retry

Are there any existing solutions to queue up the writes to couch in the background (I’m looking at something like celery, for example), or will I need to roll my own solution?

    celery could do that, yes, or any other task queue of a similar nature.

    (Alternatively you could go one step lower and use a any message queue server, plus your own independent worker process that consumes from the message queue.)
