The Particular Platform for MassTransit

This showcase consists of 4 processes hosting MassTransit message producers and consumers that implement a simplified order processing logic from an e-commerce system.

Launching the Showcase in Docker

The showcase requires a connection to a broker (by default RabbitMQ), ServiceControl container, ServicePulse container and the MassTransit Connector for ServiceControl container.
To help getting started we have created a few docker compose files that orchestrate all this setup for you.

Run the docker command below from the src folder in a terminal.

docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml -f compose-rabbitmq.yml --env-file rabbit.env up -d

To run against Azure Service Bus

The showcase can also be run using Azure Service Bus rather than RabbitMQ.
First configure the access to your Azure Service Bus namespace by editing the variables in src/asb.env.

CONNECTIONSTRING="Endpoint=sb://[NAMESPACE].servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=[KEYNAME];SharedAccessKey=[KEY]"

Run docker command below from the src folder in a terminal.

docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml -f compose-azure.yml --env-file asb.env up -d

Running from an IDE

Warning

When using Visual Studio, ensure you have the "Enable Multi-Project Launch profiles" setting on. Allow Visual Studio 2022 "multi-launch" so you can easily select the profile you want to run.

It can be activated by accessing the Tools menu -> Manage preview features- Enable Multi-Project Launch profiles.

To start the required infrastructure run the following docker command below from the src folder in a terminal.

RabbitMQ

docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml -f compose-rabbitmq.yml --env-file rabbit.env --profile infrastructure --profile frontend up -d

Azure Service Bus

docker compose -f docker-compose-base.yml -f compose-azure.yml --env-file asb.env --profile infrastructure --profile frontend up -d

After opening the solution (from Visual Studio or Rider), choose one of the run profiles that matches the transport configured previously:

• RabbitMQ
• Azure Service Bus

Run the solution to start the demo.
