Hi everyone,
NServiceBus.WCF is an integration package that enables NServiceBus endpoints to communicate using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). While this package has served legacy .NET Framework–based systems for many years, the underlying WCF technology is part of an older server‑side programming model that Microsoft no longer considers a modern platform priority. Microsoft’s current guidance recommends gRPC for new and modern workloads.
As a result, NServiceBus.WCF is transitioning to sunset, with the repository already archived. In addition, the package is tied to both the .NET Framework and NServiceBus Version 8, which has left Mainstream Support and is only covered by Extended Support until 2031‑04‑16. NServiceBus.WCF will be deprecated on the same date as NServiceBus Version 8.
We encourage teams relying on WCF-based integrations to begin planning their transition toward alternative communication technologies such as gRPC or HTTP-based messaging patterns supported by NServiceBus.
Please read our support policy for more details.
With thanks,
The team in Particular
