RoQ

RoQ (pronounce /rɒkˈjuː/, as in "Rock You") is the first implementation of EQS, a new architecture designed for efficient messaging in the cloud.

Traditionally, MOMs are not designed to support elastic scaling. This means that in a cloud context, they may very quickly become a bottleneck in terms of performance.

RoQ has been designed from day 1 to answer this problem. It's architecture is elastically scalable. This includes three properties:

When required, the capacity of the system will be increased automatically
This capacity increase has no impact on the global performance
When the load decrease, the system will scale down to avoid using unnecessary ressources

RoQ started as a research project within EURA NOVA and has since then evolved into an open source project.
