Starling was a messaging server that enabled reliable distributed queuing with a minimal overhead. The code for Starling was originally developed inside social media firm Twitter and released as open source in 2008.[1] The program was originally developed by Blaine Cook, now a former lead developer for Twitter.

It spoke the Memcached protocol for maximum cross-platform compatibility. Any language that spoke Memcached could have taken advantage of Starling’s queue facilities.[citation needed] Starling was written in Ruby.
