Which framework is durable and has a HA message bus?

Question

I'm looking for a messaging framework for a distributed financial application that should meet the following requirements:

1. No data loss or duplication, hence, a message should be sent exactly once to each recipient
2. Transactional - in the sense that a message is dequeued only after successfully sent to all recipients.
3. Durable - no data loss in a case of server crash
4. high availability - run multiple message buses on different servers

The system is written in Scala and Java.

I will be more than happy to use an existing framework and not develop one of my own.

Answer 1

ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, JMS implementations built into any full JEE container.

Answer 2

There are plenty and crucially they follow the recommended practices from the Enterprise Integration Patterns book:

• Apache Camel
• Spring Integration
• Mule
• Ikasan

And probably many more, HTH!

Answer 3

You can checkout Kafka - a project open sourced by LinkedIn.

Answer 4

Tibco EMS is a popular product in the financial world. It's got bindings for Java, C++ and C#, which make language interop a lot easier and is fully JMS compliant.

A less well known product, but one that is incredibly fast is the 29West suite of products. They also have bindings for Java, C++ and C#, but your programming a lot closer to the metal! They're incredibly fast and perfect for low-latency, high-volume messaging.
