RabbitMQ is a widely used message broker that facilitates messaging between applications and services.
RabbitMQ began as an open-source implementation of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol at Rabbit Technologies and was maintained from 2007 by VMware and later Broadcom.
Producers publish messages to exchanges, which route them through bindings into queues. Consumers acknowledge processing; persistence, prefetch, and dead lettering shape delivery, throughput, and failure handling.
Exchanges determine message routes.
Queues buffer work for consumers.
Acknowledgements mark successful processing.
RabbitMQ decouples services for asynchronous workflows and load spikes. Delivery guarantees, ordering, retries, and monitoring of growing queues must be defined for each business process.
