Synchronous Request Response with ActiveMQ and Spring
A few months ago I did a deep dive into Efficient Lightweight JMS with Spring and ActiveMQ where I focused on the details for asynchronous sending and receiving of messages. In an ideal world all messaging would be asynchronous. If you need a response then you should set up an asynchronous listener and either have enough state stored in the service or in the message that you can continue processing once the response has been received. However, when ideals lead to complexity, we have to make the decision of how much complexity can we tolerate for the performance we need. Sometimes it just makes more sense to use a synchronous request/response.

YouTube - NoSQL
I’ve seen this before but it came across my radar again. While maybe this is ment just to be humorous I think it also shows a bit of the naiveté of DBAs. While NoSql is certainly not needed everywhere, and is probably over used by trend chasers, there are very good use cases where databases simply cannot scale easily to handle the requirements. These communities should be playing together, learning from the past, not jeering at each other.
