RABBITMQ

RabbitMQ is a message broker for complex scenarios. Its task is to simplify routing between program modules and make it more efficient.


RabbitMQ is written in Erlang and is based on the AMQP protocol, although it supports other protocols, including HTTP. It is suitable for projects for any popular OS, regardless of the chosen language and database. In addition to the client libraries, RabbitMQ has other plugins, such as those for clustering, broker-to-broker messaging, monitoring, and other tasks, which further increase its capabilities.

5 reasons to use RabbitMQ for your project
01
01
Asynchronous messaging

RabbitMQ can do everything you need to organize interaction between project components. It supports multiple communication protocols, including all AMQP 0-9-1 extensions, as well as STOMP, MQTT, AMQP 1.0 via plugins, and even HTTP via WebSockets. With RabbitMQ, you can use the organization of queues with flexible routing to them, delivery confirmation, and more. Additionally, the latest versions have a data structure very similar to Kafka's persistent log, which expands the possibilities of streaming.

Simple and popular technology

RabbitMQ is free software used by tens of thousands of developers in small startups and enterprise projects. It can be easily deployed on a local network and in the cloud, including in distributed configurations, to create large-scale solutions with consistently high availability.

Works everywhere

RabbitMQ is suitable for projects in Java, PHP, C#, Objective-C, Swift, Python, JavaScript, Go, and many others. There are modules and clients for each of the supported languages. The message broker is officially supported by Linux, Windows and Windows Server, macOS, and other operating systems, each of which also has client libraries. In addition, RabbitMQ has ready-made integrations with development and deployment platforms and databases, as well as command line tools.

Secure and distributed

RabbitMQ can be deployed in clusters, maintaining consistently high availability and throughput. The Federation plugin, on the other hand, allows you to transmit messages without clustering, which makes it possible to scale the system as you need. RabbitMQ can be used in cloud services, both private and public. All data will be protected by TLS and LDAP, as well as by the specified authentication and authorization conditions.

Internal monitoring.

One of the most useful RabbitMQ plugins is the API for monitoring and managing nodes and clusters, with a browser-based user interface. This tool automatically collects and structures reports on the operation of various system components. The plugin is fully customizable and includes built-in analytics tools. This makes RabbitMQ an excellent solution if development is carried out in an environment with difficulties in connecting to external monitoring tools.

Conclusion

RabbitMQ is a user-friendly, feature-rich, and popular message processing solution that works equally well for small and large-scale projects. It is often compared to Redis and Kafka, which can also be used for routing tasks, and RabbitMQ is definitely the best broker for projects with task blocking, which ensures high server response times.
