Use of Service Bus in a Pub-Sub Engine
- by JoseK
In one of our projects, we've built a Publisher - Subscriber Engine on Oracle Service Bus. The functionality being a series of events are published and subscribers (JMS queues) receive these whenever a new event is published.
We are facing some technical issues now, performance-wise and hence an architectural review is underway.
Now for my questions:
Architecturally the ESB has to publish events into a DB and read from the DB which users wish to be notified, then push the event onto their respective queues.
There is a high amount of DB interaction and the question is whether ESB should be having such high amount of interaction with the DB in the first place? Or should there have been some alternate component responsible for doing this.
Alternately is there any non-DB approach in which we can store the events and subscribers? Where else can this application data be held within the ESB context?
