Overview
RabbitMQ is a robust and flexible open-source message broker software that facilitates communication between distributed applications. It implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) standard, ensuring reliable messaging across various platforms and languages. With its support for multiple messaging protocols (MQTT, STOMP etc.) and delivery patterns (Fanout, Direct, Exchange etc.), RabbitMQ enables seamless integration and scalability for modern microservices architectures. It provides features such as message persistence, clustering, and high availability, making it a preferred choice for handling asynchronous communication and decoupling components in enterprise systems.
