👉 Messaging: Do You Really Need a Command Dispatcher or Messaging Framework with Ian Cooper
The .NET ecosystem offers several frameworks that act as command/query dispatchers, messaging frameworks, or both. As some of these projects shift from open source to commercial offerings, developers are beginning to ask: do we even need these frameworks in the first place?In this talk, we’ll begin by exploring the rationale for using a command dispatcher. Why introduce this layer of indirection instead of calling your domain logic directly from an API handler?
Once we’ve understood when and why a command dispatcher adds value, we’ll take a closer look at messaging frameworks—how they work and why they often include command dispatching as a core feature.
Finally, we’ll assess the benefits that these frameworks offer over rolling your own solution—from reliability and observability to consistency and scalability.Code examples will use Brighter V10.
