Living in the Tech Avalanche Generation

I am finding it harder and harder to find scenarios where I would consider anything other than NServiceBus to build messaging systems behind the corporate firewall. Certainly punching a hole through it might open up the possibility for other technologies, but in most cases it’s to act as a bridge to what will eventually hit some NServiceBus infrastructure.

Deployment is a snap and in a project based environment where small systems are regularly custom built to order for heavy load batch processing, NServiceBus will make rolling out a highly scalable solution a very quick and reasonably simple process. Also, NServiceBus configuration is far simpler these days and to be honest, compared to some frameworks it’s downright simple to understand.

The kind of processing numbers we are achieving in current proof of concepts for new projects are impressive and the deployment story is going to let us ring out every last drop of blood from hardware otherwise considered as redundant and useless. Not a web server in sight!

One thing on MY the Network Administrators wish list is a zero deployment transactional queue (transport). Andreas created a file based ITransport implementation but unfortunately no support for transactions, however it does show just how extensible NServiceBus is.
