Hi,
I am looking at ZeroMQ as possible solution to connect back-end code to some front end UI (Web-based), specifically the website runs on IIS ,
We have two communication patterns in place:
Req-Reply (IIS, requests from back-end code) , we managed to do this successfully we used the .NET ZeroMQ bindings
PUB-SUB (Back-end code publishes updates, IIS subscribes to these unsolicited updates) , We managed to implement this in the back-end side (Native code) but since the code running under IIS has no specific execution (i.e. its req-reply based) were having trouble figuring out how to implement this, Any ideas or are we taking a wrong route?
Some more context regarding what where trying to achieve:
Basically the idea is that we have some back-end native services that constantly post updates about what they’re doing, we need to display these updates in a Web-Based interface (like a monitor of sorts) , we could do this using the Req-Reply pattern but I am trying to avoid this since 1. There could be multiple IIS servers (for load balancing etc..) 2. It won’t be responsive since we want a ‘real-time view’ (as close as possible)
Thanks and Regards J
Kurt.
