It has the ability to cluster both on the server side and on the worker side which allows you to grow your server without having to change too much once the queue manager is configured. The best part is that it keeps language independence on both sides of the fence. If you want to write your client using PHP and your worker as C, you can do that. Currently we are looking at moving all our emails to this queue manager so that we can offload them to a secondary server and the emails can be sent when the server has free cycles. So the point of this post is just to document some of the steps I had to go through inorder to setup Gearman on the server using PHP for the client and Worker.
