router: the router should dispatch to an MQ for services (and listen on an MQ for events)... maybe #3

Open jottinger opened 2 months ago

This requires an MQ service to be present for the router to operate. This may not be a CORE aspect of the whiteboard; maybe the "main loop" does this, but not the whiteboard itself.

The advantage of this is instant horizontal scalability; the disadvantage is the requirement for an MQ and viable setup FOR the MQ, with queues being set up for the router and services.

The IRC service uses an internal router to dispatch commands (because they're localized to the service). So you'd have to have a way to differentiate dispatches; maybe a DispatchConsumer and DispatchProducer, where the IRC Service had a "no-op" producer and a consumer that received from simple method calls, and the "main loop" would have a consumer that pulled events from a queue and a producer that wrote TO a queue.
