Brighter is a Command Dispatcher and Command Processor framework for .NET and C# that implements the Command pattern with a middleware pipeline for building loosely coupled applications. It supports both in-process and out-of-process messaging across transports like RabbitMQ, Kafka, AWS SNS+SQS, Redis, and Azure Service Bus, with features such as outbox/inbox patterns, retries, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing.

Use cases

• build message-driven microservices in .NET
• implement CQRS command side with a command dispatcher
• decouple services with asynchronous messaging over RabbitMQ or Kafka
• add reliable messaging with transactional outbox pattern
• build middleware pipelines for retry and circuit breaking in C#
• process messages from queues with a service activator
• implement hexagonal architecture ports and adapters in .NET

When to choose

• you are building .NET/C# applications needing command dispatch or event-driven messaging
• you want transport-agnostic messaging with RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS/SNS, Redis, or Azure Service Bus
• you need outbox/inbox patterns for reliable transactional messaging
• you want middleware-style cross-cutting concerns like logging, retry, and circuit breakers

When to avoid

• your stack is not .NET (it is a C# library)
• you only need simple in-process request handling without messaging - MediatR alone may suffice
• you need the query side of CQRS without the companion Darker project
• you require a broker or transport not listed among its supported integrations
