Welcome to the first ever NServiceBus Weekly. As the name suggests, these posts will concentrate on the latest happenings around the NServiceBus. New post is released once a week, every Wednesday.

There’s going to be few different sections:

Every section will concentrate on NServiceBus. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I missed an interesting link.

Because this is the first NServiceBus Weekly, we have an extra section: NServiceBus. This section will contain links to articles and web pages which will give you a good introduction on this popular open source service bus for .NET Framework, founded by Udi Dahan.. Also this week’s NServiceBus Weekly will contain links which are older than one week. Starting from the next post, I will concentrate on the latest happenings.

News

  • "Still OSS, but higher value offerings not free in binary form." – NServiceBus has taken the next step: It now offers a commercial option. The NServiceBus source code will continue to be open and anybody can still fork the code. The commercial version will offer more features like distributor, gateway and saga timeout management.  This change was made “In order to save #NServiceBus from the same fate as other OSS projects (victims of their success)”. The current 2.0 version will remain completely free. The next service pack of 2.0 version will be called 2.5.
  • NServiceBus License Packages – If you’re interested in the features provided by the commercial licenses, this page will give you all the details.
  • NServiceBus Developer Studio – Not much is known about the up-coming NServiceBus Developer Studio. Currently it seems that it will be a commercial application and it will allow the developers to visualize what is happening inside the NServiceBus. More news to follow, I’m sure.
