Hi Sam, It depends on what sort of communication you are doing, if it is just events, messages etc it might be worth checking out ZeroMQ or AMQP.
That said, I have apps which use HTTP for the above just because consuming the messages is made a lot easier if you already have a HTTP stack, e.g. one serving a rails app. – Ivan On 29/10/2011, at 2:56 PM, Samuel Richardson wrote: > What are peoples thoughts on using rest for internal communications between > servers?
