MQ Light worker thread sample
=====================
This sample demonstrates how MQ Light can make apps more responsive using worker threads. You can see the single threaded version of the app on the [serial branch](https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mqlight-worker-thread/tree/serial). To run the improved version, follow the instructions below.
Follow the instructions in our [Getting started](https://www.ibmdw.net/messaging/mq-light/getting-started-mq-light/) page to install and start MQ Light. Then download and extract this sample and add Twitter OAuth keys (follow [these instructions](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom) to get them) to `app.js`.
Finally, run
```
npm install
```
to install the required modules, then
```
node worker.js
```
to start the worker thread and
```
node app.js
```
to start the app. The app can be viewed at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/). The tweet stream should be much more responsive than the [single threaded example](https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mqlight-worker-thread/tree/serial) because the cpu heavy work is being handled by a separate worker thread.
