It surprises me that it is a problem that needs to be solved, and not just a way it should be done from day one. Back in 2011 I wrote a small ruby class that interacts with redis and provides me a reliable method to consume messages from queue.

Back than I just read the redis docs, understands that BRPOPLPUSH is the right method to call, and made a few ruby functions to do so, you could see it here [1], they are plain and simple.

From my perspective, it's just feature starving OSS part, to push customers towards the paid solution.
