Rhino Service BusThe Starbucks example
time to read 2 min | 233 words

Yesterday I finally completed the Starbucks sample for Rhino Service Bus. It is surprising to see how many aspects that little sample required.

There are several of highlights in the sample.

  • There are three actors in the application:
    • Barista
    • Cashier
    • Customer
  • There is zero setup necessary, Rhino Service Bus will create the queues if they don’t already exists. Again, the idea of reducing moving parts.
  • All three actors are running in the same process – but each is running in a different AppDomain.
    Note that this is a common deployment choice for development, but not one that I would use for production.
    The idea is that this make it significantly easier to debug & develop a distributed application.
  • There is very little configuration whatsoever. And a lot of conventions about how to figure out what consumers to use and how to build it.
  • The use of sagas & conversations is demoed. The entire buying process is a single conversation composed of several sagas.
  • The customer actor is showing how we can create instance & temporary subscriptions.
