RabbitMQ

What is it?

RabbitMQ is a widely used message broker based on the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). It acts as an intermediary that enables services to communicate asynchronously through message queues.

What does it do?

RabbitMQ receives, routes, and delivers messages between producers and consumers. It supports queues, exchanges, routing keys, acknowledgements, retries, and message durability to ensure reliable message delivery.

Where is it used?

RabbitMQ is commonly used in microservice architectures, event-driven systems, background job processing, and enterprise integrations where loose coupling and asynchronous workflows are required.

When & why it emerged

RabbitMQ was first released in 2007 to address the need for reliable messaging in distributed systems. It emerged as a robust solution for handling asynchronous communication and workload distribution at scale.

Why we use it at Internative

We use RabbitMQ to build resilient, event-driven backend systems. It allows us to decouple services, process background jobs reliably, and scale asynchronous workloads without impacting core application performance.
