    Later, we discovered Propan, a library created by Nikita Pastukhov, which solved similar problems but for RabbitMQ. Recognizing the potential for collaboration, we joined forces with Nikita to build a unified library that could work seamlessly with both Kafka and RabbitMQ. And that's how FastStream came to be—a solution born out of the need for simplicity and efficiency in microservices development.

    This is an implementation of pub/sub. The publisher is on a separate project. The message broker is Azure Service Bus. We use NServiceBus for code implementation. I use rabbitMQ broker for local tests. Nothing I can do about the tech stack. This is more of a high level single project structure review 😅

    When using third-party services, especially within a "transaction", it's often a good idea to use a persistent Message Queue (MQ) system like RabbitMQ. Go through all their tutorials to get a really good understanding of how message queues work and how they can be used to solve your problem.

    The best technical solution to provide the event queues is to use a message-broker technology like RabbitMQ.

    You're better off with something really, really straightforward, like AWS Simple Queue Service or SQS or RabbitMQ, which are two very popular message queues. (The "MQ" part means Message Queue, in case that wasn't obvious). There are a lot of these out there, including ActiveMQ, IronMQ, and others. Pick the one that makes the most sense to you.
