We are using NSQ at Hailo for sending and receiving billions of messages every day. It scales incredibly well and is extremely reliable. We'd be happy to speak more about this with anyone who's interested.

Could you use NSQ to create a P2P messaging system?

Can one use NSQ as a replacement for Kafka?

How do you handle reliability? I'm reading http://nsq.io/overview/features_and_guarantees.html and I'm curious how you've set up your architecture to handle node failures without losing messages, or if losing messages is acceptable in your use case.

I'm also curious if you've had issues with duplicated delivery, where a message is delivered more than once, and how you've handled that case.

Previous discussion on bitly blog / reddit with some comparisons to zmq: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/117dsj/nsq_real...

And also a great article that compares / contrasts NSQ along with a lot of other alternatives: http://www.bravenewgeek.com/dissecting-message-queues/

Depends on how you use Kafka, but yes overall you can.

NATS is a simpler, faster alternative: http://nats.io/
