With modern architectural styles like microservices, "event driven" applications are becoming more and more mainstream. But how do you get messages across from A to B? There are many transport mechanisms and frameworks available that help you do this.

In this session, we will cover how messaging helps to decrease temporal decoupling, and how it can help improve scalability of your application. We will also learn about the implications of introducing messaging.

Next, we will cover 4 main stream messaging frameworks and compare some tradeoffs: NServiceBus, MassTransit, Dapr and the new kid in town: Wolverine.

You will learn:

  • About messaging and eventing as a concept
  • How to introduce messaging in your architecture
  • Get to know a few popular frameworks
