This. 0MQ is an optimisation and as everyone knows, these optimisations should be delayed until the last minute.

We're still shifting services over HTTP off a mix of Apache and IIS boxes. We can do 80 million service requests a day without hitting 5% of our capacity with commodity hardware.

These service requests are extremely complicated calculation and scoring algorithms as well so not some half-arsed CRUD API either.

We just do it in C# and C++ rather than Python/Ruby etc as that's where we gain the performance advantage.
