I'm completely new to Node.JS, if I want to pass messages to external systems using a message/event/servicebus.. what alternatives are there that integrates well with Node?
The messages are just JSON strings, and external systems can be whatever, e.g. a C# agent or some such.
(Maybe this should be on some other part of the site cluser than stackoverflow since it's more of a tech question than programming)?
I built a proof of concept for gameinformer.com's commenting system with nodejs/mogodb as the comment service, sending messages to RabitMQ (with node-amqp) and HornetQ (with stomp). A message bus is definitely the way to go if you're building enterprise level applications. I haven't tried sending messages from nodejs to MSMQ but when I do, my first attempt will be with the node js stomp module.
