Undoubtedly the most popular design pattern when writing distributed application is Pub/Sub. Turns out that there's another important design pattern used in distributed applications not as frequently mentioned, that can also be implemented with queues: async resquests/responses. Async resquests/responses are very useful and widely used to exchange data between microservices in non-blocking calls, allowing the resqueted service to throttle incoming requests via a queue preventing its own exhaustion.

This repo implements async resquest/response exchange between two ASP.NET Core websites via RabbitMQ queues using MassTransit. We'll also wire everything up using Docker and Docker Compose.

To understand how to use this repo, make sure you read this article:
