At work we started using RabbitMQ for our messaging backbone about 12 months ago, we are going to start using more and more as new projects are developed. So I thought why not see if I could build a custom component for SSIS to read from a RabbitMQ queue.

It turned out to very interesting, so I wrote 5 blog posts about it here: http://kzhendev.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/custom-ssis-components/[/url]

It was a really great learning experience, as I learnt a lot about how to build custom components, but also more about the internal working of SSIS 🙂

With that all wrapped up, I have now moved onto looking into StreamInsight, I managed to create my first real-time application which reads events from RabbitMQ, does some processing then outputs via SignalR to update a chart on a webpage in real-time: http://kzhendev.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/real-time-analytics-for-twilio/[/url]
