RabbitMQ#

RabbitMQ is a reliable and mature messaging and streaming broker, which is easy to deploy of cloud environments, on-premises, and on local machines.

Amazon MQ#

AWS offers a solution for RabbitMQ called Amazon MQ. It is a managed message broker service that supports message brokers such as RabbitMQ and Apache ActiveMQ. It allows developers to use RabbitMQ's robust messaging features without worrying about the complexity of broker management, scaling, or infrastructure maintenance.

There are many key features of Amazon MQ. Below, some of them are highlighted:

  • Fully Managed - it takes care of the operational overhead, including provisioning the message broker, ensuring high availability, patching, monitoring, and failure recovery.
  • High Availability - it deploys RabbitMQ brokers across multiple availability zones (AZs) in a region, providing built-in redundancy and automatic failover for improved reliability.
  • Security - it integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and supports encryption in transit and at rest using TLS and AWS Key Management Service, ensuring secure messaging.
  • Monitoring and Metrics - Integrated with Amazon CloudWatch, it provides metrics and logs to monitor broker performance and health.
  • Cost-Effective - Pay-As-You-Go approach.
