This SkillsCast recording features NServiceBus' founder Udi Dahan who, in an inspiring keynote, will take you on a journey through time from NServiceBus' humble beginnings, into the present state of the Particular Service Platform, and will also give you a glimpse of the future and all the possibilities it brings.

About NServiceBus

NServiceBus offers enterprise-grade scalability and reliability for your workflows and integrations without any messy XML configuration - just pure-code bliss. It prides itself to be the most developer-friendly service bus for .NET. You can find out more about NServiceBus here.

Find out how the engineering team at Wonga have scaled their platform in light of rapid demand and growth in their products.

Wonga Group provides fully automated, online short term credit to consumers and small businesses. Our appeal to customers stems from our ability to make responsible lending decisions in real time, disburse funds rapidly and provide a flexible and transparent service. Wonga is in the business of information processing, our software assesses a large number of credit and fraud decisioning data points.

The engineering team have faced the problem of scaling our platform to meet rapid growth in customers whilst at the same time increasing our technical headcount from fifteen to two hundred people spread across five countries. We have also transitioned from n-tier to a service oriented architecture, all the time there has been business pressure to deliver new features and keep the platform stable.

This talk will look at how Wonga leveraged NServiceBus to:

• Transition from synchronous to asynchronous communication
• Integrate with third party API's whilst maintaining a stable platform
• Build sophisticated monitoring to support and tune our system
• Deliver new features

The Windows Azure Platform and NServiceBus make a perfect fit. On the one hand the windows azure platform offers a scalable and flexible platform that we are looking for in our designs, and on the other hand NServiceBus makes development on this highly distributed environment a breeze. In this session you will learn all about running NServiceBus endpoints in Windows Azure.

Hear from Thoughtworks' James Lewis who explores the real world challenges of deploying and managing many small applications.

The trend towards fine grained SOA and micro-services is having an impact on how we design and code systems. As we move towards developing applications composed of small services we are "pushing accidental complexity into our infrastructure" (Martin Fowler). While this has benefits in terms of scaling, maintainability and replaceability it also raises questions about our ability to manage large numbers of small applications in production.

This talk explores some of the real world difficulties encountered in testing, deploying and managing many small applications as well as examining strategies to help take advantage of the opportunities that designing for replaceability can provide.

In this talk, Roy Cornelissen and Mark Taling are going to look at how NServiceBus and rigorous architectural measures helped turn a slow and unmanageable SaaS application into a faster, more reliable and more extensible system. Along the way, they will explore a range of NServiceBus best practices.

In particular how they embraced the extensibility of NServiceBus to add support for multi tenancy throughout their system. In a deep dive into the technical side of things, Roy and Mark will show how they have extended Saga persistence to deal with multi-tenancy and the use Sagas in a number of different use cases.

Put your questions to the panel at the end of day one of NSBCon. If you have you have an opinion, you're invited to join the panel on stage and discuss in detail your experiences using NServiceBus. The format is designed to pitch those questions you didn't manage to ask in the day.

Join Danny Cohen and Sean Farmer for a deep dive session into the Particular Service Platform.

The talk will cover the platform's capabilities and tools (including modeling and design with ServiceMatrix, advanced debugging with ServiceInsight, production monitoring and extensibility features with ServicePulse), sharing best practices, do's and don'ts and providing an under-the-hood and behind the scenes view.

It's easy for developers to get enthusiastic about how simple it seems to implement an event-driven architecture with NServiceBus. Reality, however, can be quite different. Chances are you won't be able to start a new green field project to do this. Instead you'll need to add small pieces to your existing systems step-by-step and, hopefully, migrate to the new target architecture over a longer period.

In this session, Jan Ove Skogheim, will talk about how Rikstoto, the only licensed horse racing operator in Norway, moved from a layered service platform with Web Services calling other Web Services to a fully scaled out event driven platform based on NServiceBus. All this over a period of two years, while keeping the internal and external clients of the platform fully functional. He’ll talk about the step-by-step process used and the lessons learned by both the developers and the operations team.

Spotlight is one of the world’s leading resources for professional actors, casting directors and production professionals. Over the last few years, Spotlight have faced the challenge of migrating their monolithic on-site infrastructure onto a cloud hosted environment, whilst simultaneously delivering new products and features to their customers.

Publishing photography and multimedia online is a key part of the service, and NServiceBus is a key part of the systems that drive our multimedia publishing workflows. Spotlight have used it to decouple legacy systems from their hosting environments, and to create loosely-coupled encoding workflows for audio and video, and in this talk Dylan will discuss why Spotlight chose NServiceBus, how they integrated it with legacy systems, and how using NSB influenced the design and architecture of their greenfield applications.

Take a deeper dive into exploring the depths of the NServiceBus API with John Simons and Indu Alagarsamy.

Take a deeper dive into exploring the depths of the NServiceBus API. Among other things, they will focus on how handlers get invoked and what is involved when trying to invoke a message handler. Either build on top of what the framework provides you, or remove the framework blocks and replace it with your own. Get a better understanding of how you can override the default behavior and get the customization you are after by hooking into the NServiceBus pipeline.

Continuously delivering a top quality platform on which customers build and run their businesses is not a challenge to be taken lightly. Join Andreas Öhlund, Director of Engineering at Particular Software, for a journey through custom tooling, testing the un-testable and massive cloud service bills in the name of backwards compatibility, performance and reliability.

An adventurous journey indeed but an absolute must to ensure that the software you depend on delivers what's stated on the box.

Many people think that it is an either/or choice between Event Store and NServiceBus, this could not be further from the truth! In this session Greg and Szymon will look at Event Store and NServiceBus and how they can be brought together.

Whether looking at Event Store as a highly available transport or even as an auditing queue with full temporal querying abilities there is a lot of benefit the two can bring to each other.

Watch the SkillsCast recording to find out why!
