Check out the: Advantages of message-based web services https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Advantages-of-message-based-web-services https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Advantages... Which explains the natural benefits of the design ServiceStack promotes (no other MS fx promotes this). We strongly believe that message-based services promote the best practices for remote service development, something we've benefitted from for years.
