Fabriq 1.0.4173.4 Released !!!

FABRIQ is a general purpose infrastructure for building fast and scalable networks of autonomous nodes for processing and relaying messages. A node is an implementation of a processing pipeline composed of reusable primitive message processing units and/or special purpose message processing units. These processing units consume, act and/or produce new messages as a result of performing their work. Nodes communicate with each other through message queues and they can be organized into queuing networks.

Clemens Vasters, Eugenio Pace, an enthusiastic development team in Argentina and newtelligence A.G. and Arvindra Sehmi Microsoft's architect have spent the last six months building this system because they've seen the fundamental architectural principles behind FABRIQ working incredibly well in a number of real customer applications. Those systems needed to scale dramatically, on-demand and process messages very rapidly indeed with minimum latency and fuss.

What they've done is taken some of those ideas and create what is essentially a reusable framework which incorporates many "modern" ideas about how to build systems that scale and process messages incredibly quickly whilst being acutely aware of the need to adhere to emerging messaging standards, in particular the WS-* standards.

Over on Fabriq's new GotDotNet Workspace you can learn about the architecture of FABRIQ by working through sample configurations and in various simple scenarios. You can download the FABRIQ runtime, design docs and more. Some hands-on labs posted to get you going easily.  

Another invaluable resource is Clemens' blog posts on FABRIQ.
