Hi James. (I assume you mean Shovel vs Federation).

Since federation has quite a pull-based model it might prove more fiddly
to use than shovel in a situation where you have a lot of satellite
brokers publishing to a central broker. I view shovel as a lower level
thing than federation, both have their uses...

Cheers, Simon
