[Hawkular-dev] Hawkular Metrics + Hawkular Alerts - Phase 0

[Anton Hughes]

Hi all

Firstly, apologies if this thread is intended for Redhat staff only.

My development background is primarily in .net - and so I am writing here
to suggest using this instead - joking! chez.
But, while working with .net, microsoft release the Windows Communication
Foundation framework - basically a framework for abstracting the different
messaging systems - how messages are sent over the wire, or in proc - from
the implementation.

For the past 5 years I have been almost exclusively working in Java and was
delighted to see similar concepts in Jboss Switchyard and Apache Camel. In
particular, Switchyard allows for a service to be exposed to the world via
multiple bindings easily. Camel is also an excellent choice.

Personally I would love to see communication to Hawkular using Apache
Kafka! Adding a kafak binding in either Switchyard or Camel is a breeze!

When it comes to choosing a messaging implementation, I have good success
in choosing frameworks that focus on integration and abstracting the
specific messaging type. In my company, when we have discussions of should
we use rest or jms - we tend to say yes - the answer is in the question. We
need a system that easily supports both, and more.

If this discussion arises now, it will surely arise again - therefore make
the choice of easy integration. Abstract away how the message is sent to
being simply a configuration.

Kind regards
