Abstract
A method and associated systems for using analytics to optimize performance of a messaging system via topic migration to alternate delivery methods. A messaging system delivers messages organized into topics to users by any of several message-delivery mechanisms, such as a publish/subscribe push mechanism and an HTTP polling pull mechanism. A processor analyzes characteristics of messages associated with a particular topic and delivered by a first delivery mechanism, and if it finds that those characteristics render the first delivery mechanism an inefficient or expensive way to deliver those messages, it determines whether a second mechanism would be more efficient or less expensive. If so, the messaging system then migrates all messages associated with the topic to the second mechanism, regardless of an identity or other characteristic of a user that receives messages associated with the topic.
