Learning NServiceBus

By: David Boike

Overview of this book

<p>Web service-based systems are designed using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) techniques. This technique is effective; however, this method creates problems with scalability and reusability as fault tolerance is inherently hindered by the RPC principles. This book helps you to overcome this problem by introducing you to the principles of messaging and SOA to build scalable and reliable systems, that are easy to extend and maintain.</p> <p>"Learning NServiceBus" is your essential guide to becoming a messaging guru. The book details the process of building a software system based on the SOA principles. From sending a simple message to publishing events, this book covers everything you need to know to understand and implement an SOA-based message driven systems.</p> <p>"Learning NServiceBus" will teach you how to use publish/subscribe to create an Serivce Oriented Architecture. We will then look how to manage and extend that architecture. Through the course of the book, you will build reliable systems which will automatically compensate for failures. You will also learn to build complex yet testable business processes which will make batch processes seem outdated. By the end of the book, you will realize that SOA is much more than just web services.</p>

Summary


In this chapter we dissected the process of self-hosting an NServiceBus endpoint in our own application instead of using the NServiceBus Host. There are certainly a lot of options, so you can see why we glossed over it when we were just getting started in Chapter 1., Getting on the IBus

Lastly we took a look at send-only endpoints, which enable us to self-host an endpoint much more simply when all we need to do is send messages.

The fluent configuration methods we saw here form the backbone of the extensible architecture of NServiceBus, and are used to customize the NServiceBus host as well. In the next chapter we will learn how to harness this capability in endpoints hosted by the NServiceBus Host as we explore several advanced messaging techniques.
