Ever been to one of those aggregating search sites where the result list is populated in chunks, rather than all at once? Ever wondered how it works? Event driven sites are robust, extendable - and if you're on a messaging system like RabbitMQ and a .NET client like RawRabbit, it is pretty easy to get started.

The date for the next major release of RawRabbit is drawing nearer. It is more than a year ago since I decided to implement a .NET Core[^1] client for RabbitMq. During this time, I've discovered some differences between developing a library and an application.

A few days ago, I asked the RabbitMq community for input on what is missing in todays high level .NET clients. One of the topics that came up was the ability to control the concurrency of messages consumed. This has been discussed before, so I thought I'd implement it for RawRabbit.

I wasn't thrilled when Owin was introduced back in 2012. Sure, I could see the benefits in an abstraction layer between the web server and the application, but I didn't really see the full potential of the ecosystem of middlewares that came about a few months later. Then, for a long time, my only relation to these middleware was through extension methods like

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
    app.UseFoo();
    app.UseBar();
}
