<blockquote cite="http://www.cafeaulait.org/oldnews/news2009February5.html"><p>A couple of years ago when I was working on a now defunct search engine, we were using ActiveMQ to pass messages between the frontend and the backend. The system was unreliable, flaky, and hard to debug. It delivered exactly none of the reliability queues promised. [...] More likely there's something wrong with the whole design of network systems based on message queues, and we need to start developing alternatives.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://www.cafeaulait.org/oldnews/news2009February5.html">Elliotte Rusty Harold</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/activemq">activemq</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/elliotte-rusty-harold">elliotte-rusty-harold</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/message-queues">message-queues</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://whomwah.com/2009/01/12/visualising-radio-pushing-not-pulling/">Visualising Radio, pushing, not pulling</a></strong></p> The BBC’s new radio player uses Comet over a Flash XMLsocket connection transport, with an ActiveMQ message queue behind the scenes. I’d like to know what server they’re using to broadcast out to the XMLsocket connections. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/activemq">activemq</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/bbc">bbc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/comet">comet</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/duncan-robertson">duncan-robertson</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/flash">flash</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/xmlsocket">xmlsocket</a></p>
