Ask HN: If you had access to a large-scale system with a JMS and OTA interface
Consider you had a distributed software system that provided services like reliable and persistent data storage and message ordering and scheduling.
The system has two end points - a JMS and HTTP interface and the other end capable of sending and receiving data over-the-air via satellite, terrestrial, and Wi-Fi networks. There is a generic API to pull and push data and messages into such a system.
What would you do with it? What applications/products could benefit from such a system?
At my company, we have built such a system that has been in operation for over two decades. This middleware software is used for a set of products currently. Given the massive software infrastructure we have built, I keep wondering if it is somewhat under-utilized.
The system we have built runs 24/7 and currently processes over 200 million database IO operations every day and at least a third that many messages flow through the system. I don't have a number for how much data this constitutes but it's huge.
Could I pick some of your brains?
