Rebus

Overview

Rebus is a lean, open-source .NET service bus library that implements messaging patterns including pub/sub, request/reply, and sagas. It is transport-agnostic with plugins for RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, Amazon SQS, SQL Server, and in-memory. Rebus emphasizes simplicity and composability, making it a practical choice for teams that want a lightweight alternative to MassTransit or NServiceBus without sacrificing reliability features like automatic retries, second-level retries, and deferred message delivery.
