ZeroMQ

Worked Example: Inter-Broker Routing

Let’s take everything we’ve seen so far and scale things up to a real application. We’ll build this step-by-step over several iterations.

Suppose our best client calls us urgently and asks for a design of a large cloud computing facility. He has this vision of a cloud that spans many data centers, each a cluster of clients and workers, and that works together as a whole.

Because we’re smart enough to know that practice always beats theory, we propose to make a working simulation using ØMQ. Our client, eager to lock down the budget before his own boss changes his mind, and having read great things about ØMQ on Twitter, agrees.
