NServiceBus Mule ESB Comparison
- 1. intelligence innovation integrity NServiceBus / Mule ESB Comparison February, 2015 Michael Byrne Practice Director, Integration and Custom Solutions [email protected] Doug Gregory Practice Director, Enterprise Architecture [email protected] www.spitfiregroup.com
- 2. intelligence innovation integrity Overview • Apples and Oranges are both food • NServiceBus and Mule are both ESBs
- 3. intelligence innovation integrity High-Level Comparison • Code-centric API / Framework • One-way / request-response / publish-subscribe messaging • Sagas for long running processes • Good for messaging between .NET applications NServiceBus • Configuration Centric • Integration-platform-as-a-service (IPAAS) • Heterogeneous environment Mule ESB
- 4. intelligence innovation integrity NServiceBus Challenges • Cannot necessarily be plugged directly into existing WCF services without changes • Web App • Send to another tier (service tier) which then publishes (Don’t use Publish from Web Application!). • Command -> Event architecture • http://www.make-awesome.com/2010/10/why-not-publish- nservicebus-messages-from-a-web-application/ • Requires Service layers as either custom windows services, or NServiceBus.Host.exe services. • Easier to configure using NServiceBus Studio extensions for Visual Studio
- 5. intelligence innovation integrity Comparative Estimates • Independently estimated a 66% reduction in the needed development effort compared to a implementation against an existing NServiceBus architecture. • Matches numbers we later learned from MuleSoft • After initial architecture patterns are created, skill level to apply the patterns is lower
- 6. intelligence innovation integrity Mule Connectors • Out-of-box access to many systems • SalesForce • Streaming API support allows for integration from behind a firewall (Bayeux protocol based on COMET – similar to SignalR) • ServiceNow • SQL Server (JDBC) • Concur • Many More – 125+ Connectors
- 7. intelligence innovation integrity Mule Support for Microsoft Platform With MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform instantly access a large library of Microsoft products and enable cross- platform connectivity:
- 8. intelligence innovation integrity Vision for developer experience Call .NET assets in the context of a Mule flow Build and debug integration components in VS.NET
- 9. intelligence innovation integrity .Vision for Microsoft Platform RESTful APIs SOAP APIs RAML for .NET (Coming Soon) AMQP Connector WCF/JAX Support Visual Studios Designer Integration (coming soon) BizTalk Migrator (coming Soon) MSMQ Connector .NET Connector Microsoft Application Connectors (Dynamics, SharePoint, SQL Server)
- 10. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with SalesForce • NServiceBus • Connectivity • Need a web application listener exposed through the firewall to receive SalesForce events. Follow Command – Event pattern to handle events in Services tier. • or a custom implementation of Bayeux protocol to receive streaming events, AND a custom Windows Service for polling implementation to guarantee message reliability • API • Need to implement custom code to call SalesForce APIs • Mule • Connectivity • Add an endpoint for streaming. • Add a polling endpoint for reliability • API • SalesForce connector provides extremely easy / no-code API access
- 11. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with SalesForce – Flows
- 12. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with SalesForce - Upsert
- 13. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with SalesForce – Streaming Flow
- 14. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with SalesForce – Polling Flow
- 15. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario - Integration with COTS Database • May not be able to have COTS send an NServiceBus message • NServiceBus • Need a scheduled polling solution, either NServiceBus scheduler, or a custom Windows Service. • Need a mechanism to track progress (watermark). • Need to implement database access code • Need to create an consume events and translate to APIs in various systems • Mule • Built-in polling / watermarking • Built-in JDBC access / infrastructure • Datamapper can map data between message payloads and APIs
- 16. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with COTS Database – Polling
- 17. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with COTS Database – Polling XML
- 18. intelligence innovation integrity Scenario – Integration with COTS Database – Data Mapper
- 19. intelligence innovation integrity Staged Event Driven Architecture (SEDA) • Each flow is treated as a configurable Stage http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Tuning+Performance
- 20. intelligence innovation integrity Mule ESB - Enterprise • Self-contained 480 MB distribution • Includes an integrated management console website
- 21. intelligence innovation integrity CloudHub • Lighter set of Admin features • Requires network connections back into SQL databases
- 22. intelligence innovation integrity AnyPoint API Platform (RAML developer experience inside VS.NET IDE) Anypoint Studio API Designer API Manager API Notebook
- 23. intelligence innovation integrity RAML Example Mule is working on adding RAML design to Visual Studio
- 24. intelligence innovation integrity Mule for C# Developers AnyPoint Studio •Based on Eclipse •Source Code integration •No custom code integration MEL •Mule Expression Language (based on MVEL / MVFLEX Expression Language) •Java / JavaScript syntax Groovy •Dynamic Language based on Java Spring •Dependency Injection Maven •Build and Template Management Java •Writing simple POJOs instead of POCOs •Helper classes •Classes to override and extend behavior
- 25. intelligence innovation integrity Platform Tools Comparison NServiceBus Mule ESB Code Centric Configuration Centric C# .NET Java / Invoke .NET Business Logic Visual Studio AnyPoint Studio (Eclipse) MSMQ (other pluggable Transports) MSMQ JMS / AMQP (ActiveMQ / RabbitMQ, etc) MS Build Maven Unity / Castle Windsor / Spring.NET / StructureMap / Autofac / Niject / other Spring (Beans) NServiceBus.Host.Exe or custom service Mule ESB / Mule Management Console Windows Clustering Active-Active Shared Memory Clustering
- 26. intelligence innovation integrity Spitfire Lessons Learned NServiceBus • Good solution for integrating custom .NET applications where you control the code • Integrating with Cloud or COTS solutions where you don’t control the code can require a lot of custom code to get messages onto the ESB Mule ESB • Good solution if you have a heterogeneous environment, or know you will need to integrate with Cloud or COTS in the future • A working Mule application can be developed through AnyPoint Studio with no Java code / Spring / Maven / Groovy • Minimize Java dependencies by engaging specific resources or outside help with basic setup / architecture, then leverage that architecture across configuration-based flows.
Editor's Notes
- #8: As you can see we have an extensive list of connectors for the Microsoft platform at various stages of maturity, including: DotNetConnector released July 2014 MSMQ AMQP Active Directory SOAP/WS-* (WCF interoperability). REST (ASP.NET WebAPI interoperability) SharePoint SQL Server Microsoft Dynamics GP Dynamics CRM Dynamics Online Excel/CSV Yammer
- #9: At Mulesoft we are focused on developer experience. With Mule you can drag and drop .NET components into the designer, never touching Java
- #10: MuleSofts Microsoft connectivity solutions focus on internal adoption, we want your customer to be successful. We have built and are continuing to build new tool that help your .NET focused team build on the power of the anypoint platform. Our .NET Connector, MSMQ Connector and WCF Support MuleSoft allows your team to connect .NET/C# code quickly and without custom Java code. In the future we plan on adding additional products that make this experience even better. Examples of this are the BizTalk migration tool and Visual Studio’s designer support
- #23: In the future, you will be able to build new API’s in REST or SOAP using RAML Using VS and C#/.NET developer design time experience Design in VS Scaffold it out using Great tools Publish API so others can consume
