Rebus and distributed workers

Question

We are currently evaluating Rebus and NServiceBus. Does Rebus have anything similiar to NServiceBus's distributed workloader yet? Its a bit hard to discern from the docs :).

Kind regards Christian

Answer 1

No, unfortunately Rebus does not have a distributor yet - for the single reason that I've not yet experienced that the performance has been a problem.

On my (VMWare-based) Windows machine I can send ~700 msg/sec and receive ~3500 msg/sec with Rebus.

What are your performance requirements?

If you do require massive message processing capacity, you can use Rebus with RabbitMQ. With RabbitMQ, there's no need for a distributor since RabbitMQ works very well in a competing consumers setup.
