Overall Satisfaction with RabbitMQ
We use RabbitMQ in conjunction with our own homegrown ESB. RabbitMQ acts as a backbone to our ESB for routing and enabling us to move transactions from one ESB endpoint to another. The new quorum queues enable have multiple queue consumers across a cluster of RabbitMQ servers meaning we have virtually zero downtime during routine maintenance.
- High performance queues
- Exchanges (routing)
- Easy to use web UI
- Easy deployment
- Installing on Windows has some quirks especially with clustering
- When disk is full, it stops transactions which can be problematic to recover from
- .net SDK doesn't always recover nicely from network drops
- Queues/Exchanges (routing)
- Able to handle large messages
- High availability (clustering)
- We process between 30 and 100 messages per second (large messages)
- Deploying a cluster can be done in a day
RabbitMQ has a few advantages over Azure Service Bus
1) RMQ handles substantially larger files - ASB tops out at 100MB, we use RabbitMQfor files over 200MB
2) RabbitMQ can be easily setup on prem - Azure Service Bus is cloud only
3) RabbitMQ exchanges are easier to configure over ASB subscriptions
ASB has a few advantages too 1) Cloud based - just a few mouse clicks and you're up and running
