Chapter 12: Modernizing the Tuxedo Applications
Oracle Tuxedo is an interesting piece of software. It has benefited from years of research and development, it works in synergy with Unix-like operating systems, and it was efficient on computers less powerful than today's smartphones. I like it a lot. But it is commercial and closed source software. That alone prevents it from being used when a new software is developed.
Most new software projects rely on open source software with an active community. Sooner or later, someone from management will initiate the modernization of Tuxedo applications, which stands for replacing with cheaper alternatives in management-speak.
In this chapter, we will attempt to replace parts of a Tuxedo application by covering the following topics:
- Introducing NATS
- Developing a basic NATS application
- Developing a bi-directional gateway
By the end of this chapter, you will know about NATS and why it is a good fit for modernizing...
