Many of HSBNE's current services communicate on a mish-mash of REST apis, longpoll loops and local mysql databases. This is not optimal for future service interoperability and so we have adopted using AMQP for messaging between services, with messages encoded in Messagepack. At the Port Hack site our AMQP Messaging is hosted via RabbitMQ on the hsbne-messaging virtual image running on hsbne-xen1. To hook up your internal AMQP services (we don't do external ones yet) you can use the internal hostname of hermes , you can automatically create an AMQP queue to publish/subscribe to. Please make sure your queue name is unique and descriptive. nog3 currently maintains the host and the rabbitmq service, contact him for assistance.
