Jasper meets Azure Service Bus and gets better with Rabbit MQ

This is just a super quick update on Jasper so I can prove to the world that it’s actually moving forward. I’ll hopefully have a lot more on Jasper in the next couple weeks when I push the next big alpha.

I posted a new release of Jasper last week (v0.9.8.6) that has some better transport support for using Jasper commands with real messaging infrastructure:

• Jasper + Rabbit MQ (improved from the previous support with topics and more)
• Jasper + Azure Service Bus (all new)

I’d definitely love any feedback on the configuration of either transport option. I’m aiming to allow users to have access to every last bit of advanced features that either transport exposes, while also enabling users to quickly swap out transport mechanisms between executing locally, on test, and in production as necessary.

What’s Next

I really want to get to a 1.0 release soon because this has dragged on so much longer than I’d hoped. Right now I’m focused on improving the message persistence options and add automatic messaging idempotent rules.
