It's similar to both of them (and they are similar to each other).
Beanstalk has a simpler data model. It does not guarantee latency, but
in practice is low latency. It currently does not use persistent
storage for recovery from a crash or power outage (sometimes called
"reliability") but will do so in the near future.

Beanstalk is also tightly integrated into Rails via a plugin called
Async Observer, which will be released later today. Similar
integration will be easy to provide for other languages and
environments.
