Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. Let me try to address some of your comments
Hosting
We recommend using something similar to https://github.com/Particular/NServiceBus.Bootstrap.WindowsService for hosting. Unfortunately with the .NET changes the old source-only packages are broken (you can't edit files from source-only packages) and dotnet-new templating is not production-ready just yet
Logging
I've created a separate issue for the logging as I admit I haven't verified it thoroughly
Perf counters
As we announced recently, Particular is working on a streamlined monitoring experience for the whole platform. This new thing will replace and extend the old Perf Counter support built-into NServiceBus. Once that new monitoring infrastructure is out I'll hook up a bridge to it so that it is properly monitored
Perf tuning
Performance tuning is transport-specific. The bridge just utilized whatever each transport has to offer and allows customizing it. Please see the doco for a specific transport to learn more. Some transports, like ASB, have quite a lot of options allowing fine-tuning. Others, like MSMQ, have basically no options at all.
There is a great potential in this project but in order to be considered production-ready it needs to address certain operational concerns .
We are evaluating the Bridge for our scenario where we have endpoints configured with either MSMQ or AzureServiceBus transports and it looks perfect for our needs. However there doesn't seem to be enough documentation yet on certain configuration aspects like:
Hosting What is the recommended hosting strategy and are there plans to bring the bridge under any of the existing NServiceBus hosting solutions? The example uses a self hosted executable but that doesn't seem resilient enough.
Logging What logging options are available and can the two internal endpoints be configured to log consistently and streamlined with the host?
Performance Counters Ability to measure the performance is crucial to adopting the Bridge. What are the options for enabling and surfacing performance counters?
Performance Tuning Related to measuring performance, it will be very useful to learn what performance tuning levers are available and how to fine tune the performance to any specific scenario depending on the chosen transports, hosting options, etc.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
