We continue to see instability in Azure Service Bus and are looking for alternatives. Ideally we would like something we can run locally in a Windows 2012 R2 domain and has many of the same feature sets as Azure SB. We have taken a look at the Service Bus For Windows 1.1 however that product has not been updated in a while and we are not sure about its future. We use C# so ideally there would be a client API/wrapper that would make the integration with our existing application relatively easy. Open source and free software is totally acceptable. :-)
Background In the couple of weeks we have had SB go down in the datacenter we have chosen to host our queues. We have moved to another datacenter and it too has issues every once in a while. The issues typically last anywhere from 2 min to almost an entire day and eventually Microsoft gets them running again.
