2. Use Messaging Library

Date: 2021-07-13

Status

Accepted

Context

With more nad more use of messaging and a message broker, we've noticed a set of patterns that have custom implementation across various services/boundaries. The Outbox Pattern, Idempotent Consumers, Claim Check, Retries, etc.

Should we implement these patterns ourselves or use a full-featured messaging library such as Brighter, MassTransit, or NServiceBu?

Decision

Use a 3rd party messaging library that implements the required patterns instead of implementing the patterns ourselves. Most libraries are opinionated and will give a consistent usage for various applied patterns

Consequences

  • Changing transports will be less costly as the messaging library provides an abstraction over the underlying transport.
  • It will force a consistent way of using various patterns per the opinionated way the library requires it.
  • Keeping up with major version releases (breaking changes) cadence will require additional effort.
