[rabbitmq-discuss] Rapid Application Prototyping in Groovy/RabbitMQ

[Jon Brisbin]

I don't know if there's an official methodology for this or not, but I've started doing some rapid application prototyping using the Groovy DSL. I blogged about it today:

http://jbrisbin.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/rapid-application-prototyping-with-groovy-and-rabbitmq/

Basically, I've found I was having a hard time visualizing how my messages were being routed and how queues were interconnected, and why my message wasn't ending up where I thought it was. I felt like I was flying blind.

Now I can rapidly prototype an application by wiring it together using the Groovy DSL, which gives me either an application outline, which I can fill out in Groovy, or a complex prototype against which I can write the application in another language.

I'd be interested to hear if this works for anyone else.
