NServiceBus is a .NET messaging framework for building distributed systems and async microservices, providing abstractions over message queues like Azure Service Bus, Amazon SQS/SNS, RabbitMQ, and SQL Server. It includes saga-based long-running process orchestration, retries, recoverability, persistence integrations, and OpenTelemetry observability as part of the Particular Service Platform.
Use cases
- build async .NET microservices with message queues
- orchestrate long-running business processes with sagas
- publish and subscribe to events across multiple endpoints
- handle failed messages with automatic retries and error queues
- run message-driven services on Azure, AWS, or on-premises
- monitor and debug distributed .NET systems
- deploy messaging endpoints to containers or serverless
When to choose
- you are building distributed .NET systems that need reliable async messaging
- you want saga orchestration and recoverability out of the box
- you need commercial support and mature tooling for enterprise workloads
- you use Azure Service Bus, Amazon SQS/SNS, or RabbitMQ transports
When to avoid
- your project requires a permissive open-source license (RPL 1.5 with paid production licensing)
- you are not on the .NET ecosystem
- you need a lightweight or free message broker abstraction without commercial licensing costs
- throughput or endpoint limits of the pricing tiers do not fit your budget
