If I understand correctly, I can use nServiceBus as a “framework” and / or a wrapper around RabbitMQ
My preference of RabbitMQ is being able to use it on linux machines
Background
I have an application that enables people to upload images.
These images will require thumbnails.
Our application is predominantly asp.net (c#)
My idea is to do the following:
- upload the full size images to S3 (or whatever storage service)
- create a “message” that has input storage key, output storage key, width, height – and add to queue.
- there will be a linux server acting as a worker (windows licensing constraint) that reads the messages from the queue, and does the actual resizing
- new image will be placed on S3, defined by output key of received message
I could use Amazon SQS i suppose, but I wanted to explore the possibility of nServiceBus with RabbitMQ for transport.
Does anyone have any further info on doing this?
I saw this on GitHub: http://github.com/machine/machine.mta/tree/master/Source/NServiceBus.Unicast.Transport.RabbitMQ but was wondering how this could be used?
What would your preferred way of approaching this be?
Alex, I use SQS very often, but there are other services that could be useful for you.
You may Google ‘Cloud Message Queue’ and find plenty of those.
