Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the NATS messaging system, which looks modern and promising today. Just like Tuxedo did decades ago. We learned about some similarities and major differences and how developing a NATS application compares to developing a Tuxedo application. Many areas have to be addressed for the NATS application, such as starting and stopping it, monitoring it, and configuring it. But this book is not about NATS. We learned how to integrate NATS and Tuxedo applications to call each other.
After this chapter, you are given a choice of how to implement new features in existing applications: either on the Tuxedo side or the NATS side. Even if you choose to use a different messaging system, you have knowledge and directions on how to start working on this task. And most importantly, using Python makes the task reasonably easy and painless. Take it from someone who has done it in C++.
And with that, we have reached the end of this book. There are more standard...
