Use case in production environment

[itomsawyer]

Hi @gmallard

stompngo is a awesome project. I wonder is there any other use case in production environment. We have put it under production environment with rabbitmq and rabbitmq-stomp-websocket plugin, which can provide us a channel to push message from server to agents under a web app like connection.

Hi @itomsawyer - thank you for the word awesome.

Your question about use cases is very broad. The use cases for using messaging are many and varied.

I will suggest several items here.

First that you become familiar with messaging patterns in general (if you are not already familiar).

There is an excellent book on this subject if it is available to you:

https://books.google.com/books/about/Enterprise_Integration_Patterns.html?id=bUlsAQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button#v=onepage&q&f=false

Much of that book is also available for free. The main site is here:

Second - you should review the issues lists for other STOMP client libraries. That will give you knowledge about what kind of problems others are trying to solve with messaging. One client that has been in use for many years is the Ruby stomp gem. The repository is here:

https://github.com/stompgem/stomp

Third, also review the message history for the stomp-spec google group. That group is not very active at present. However is was quite active during the development of the STOMP 1.1 and 1.2 specifications. There is much interesting knowledge there. That group is here:
