Hello Pulsar folks! I am a member of the Apache James PMC, whose maintain the Java Apache Mail Extensible Server (for the intimates hence James). The Distributed James server aims at scaling emails on top of modern databases and messaging technologies.
So far we relies on ActiveMQ/RabbitMQ as a messaging technology (please don't judge us...). Features includes: - A mail queue (~work queue) supporting browsing, removes, delays - A messaging system for notifications (think IMAP IDLE spec) - Some smaller stuff: work-queues, ... However this matter of fact will hopefully change as we receive a contribution for a Mail Queue implemented with Pulsar [1]. As an Apache enthusiast, I think this could be an opportunity to strengthen links between our communities. Who knows, some devs within the Pulsar community might feel interested by this, and could share some interesting insights on this. The Apache James PMC is mostly Pulsar-naive so we might also benefit from an external eyes. In the future we might also propose some work (eg GSOC 2022) on further integrationg Pulsar into James, which could be an opportunity for cooperation. I apologize if this mail is of no interest to the Apache Pulsar community or if it is the wrong place to post this kind of stuff. Best regards, Benoit TELLIER [1] The aforementioned Pulsar PR : https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/808
