At 60East, we’re always helping teams analyze complex, interconnected software systems. One thing that’s easy to take for granted is file sharing – something that’s not always easy to do between teams in large enterprises. There are often great reasons for this, but for transmission of log files containing no sensitive information, it can be a real burden. The best way to share files is by using a shared host or file system, but if you have two teams that need to share files that don’t have any shared systems, then there are more efficient ways other than e-mail or file sharing services.

AMPS makes a great platform for distributing messages to worker processes. The combination of low latency delivery, the SOW last value cache, message replay, and powerful content filtering make it easy to build a scalable grid of workers.

AMPS is built from the ground up to go fast. AMPS tries to deliver messages at the fastest rate that an individual consumer can handle. AMPS has sophisticated machinery to try to find the fastest possible delivery rate for an individual consumer, and AMPS works hard¹ to keep slower consumers from causing problems for faster consumers.

These techniques apply to historical replay (bookmark subscriptions²) as well as subscriptions to current publishes. AMPS is designed to provide messages as fast as possible, regardless of the source.

One of the best things about AMPS is the way that it keeps publishers completely independent from subscribers. Publishers don't need to know how many subscribers are listening for a message, where they are, or even whether they're connected at a given point in time. That flexibility pays off: once publishers are set up, you can use the same message stream for any number of different applications, without changing the publisher.

It's January, and many people (including me) are thinking about the food they've eaten over the last few months. If you’ve ever eaten too much Halloween candy, indulged yourself in holiday food that doesn’t quite agree with you, had too many cookies or gone back for that one last sliver of pumpkin pie, you may know how much trouble eating the wrong thing can cause. That’s also a problem in messaging applications – if your application is unable to process a message because it’s malformed, oversized, or contains nonsense data, problems can arise.

It’s great to be back! We just returned from a trip to 2025. While we were there, we took a look at what messaging systems and databases were like in 2025. We brought a bunch of cool stuff back and added it to AMPS 4.0.

We’ve revealed some of these secrets before:

If you’re a multi-discipline developer (like us!) it can be difficult bouncing between languages with different regular expression grammars. There are often command line utilities to help and you can always write code to test your patterns against test data.

That said, there are some great regular expression testing tools online that make it really easy to write and test your regular expression grammars. Our favorite online tool is regex101.com, because it supports PCRE grammars, which is what we use in our AMPS product and surrounding utilities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2014-12-26

North Pole -- Santa Clause, Inc. (SANTA) announced today that it will be choosing 60East Technologies' AMPS product as their strategic messaging platform.

At 60East Technologies, we think about delivery a lot! We’re always thinking about what can be learned by studying real-world delivery technologies used elsewhere. Perhaps the grand-daddy of all delivery companies is Santa Claus. He’s delivering packages to approximately 526 million children in 150 million households over a 31 hour period. That’s very impressive!

Just how fast is Santa and how does Santa compare to what we’ve built at 60East Technologies? Let’s see in this feature breakdown:

AMPS can help you get new life out of your existing messaging system, while providing more capacity and functionality.

We’ve all seen television’s expectation of middleware – real-time streams of data, arriving from all over the world, effortlessly joined and available in an instant, where combining new information is as easy as a few keyboard clicks – even in the middle of the night, from an underpowered laptop, while the clock is counting down to a major disaster.
