  • From the scenario you describe I would tend to agree with your team member - why so complicated? The answer really depends on requirements for throughput, scalability, configurability. Could you clarify on these? Commented Dec 28, 2012 at 17:33
  • Throughput is top priority - we process hundreds of thousands of input records and lookup against tables with a billion rows. The managers will (eventually) be heavily optimized to keep memory caches, etc. Configuration - we may want to distribute the managers across different physical servers. Scalability? I don't know - it's pretty big as it is, although we might want to have more than three or four clients running at the same time. Commented Dec 28, 2012 at 22:16
  • @miraculixx: I answered your question; does it change your answer any? (My view is that it's "complicated" because of requirements for database integrity.) Commented Jan 2, 2013 at 2:14
