Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed the F33 release party this weekend! Getting back to
the GitLab topic mail threads, this weeks topic from the GitLab AMA
session on September 10th is on Message Bus. As always, here are some
links to the resources I have been pulling content from as well:

Sorry for taking so long to respond, the past weeks have been quite busy.

## Topic: Message Bus
- Question: Fedora uses a message bus to integrate different parts of
its infrastructure. How should we onboard GitLab into this message
bus?
- Answer: Currently we would need to have a service that proxies
GitLab’s events to fedora-messaging something similar to
github2fedmsg.
There were some concerns raised about the order of events sent by
GitLab’s webhooks, these will need to be looked after during a Proof
of Concept stage.
Do we know if such a proxy would even be theoretically possible for GitLab?
IIRC, some doubts were raised during the AMA that getting a
chronologically consistent stream of events out of GitLab would be ∈
[hard, impossible[.
What would that mean for fedora? Do services relying on
fedora-messaging events related to dist-git need them to be consistent
/ chronological?
What would be the effect of those services not having a reliable
stream of events from dist-git?
