So, venturing a bit off topic, anyone have suggestions on managing worker
("consumer") processes?

There seems to be two common approaches. One is to just start up a bunch of
worker processes independently (managed like any other daemon) killing and
starting more as needed.  Another is using a manager process that forks off
workers and will kill long-running or memory-consuming processes and respawn
if a process dies.  Perhaps monitoring queue sizes and adjusting as
necessary.
