RabbitMQ
Open source multi-protocol messaging and streaming broker that applications use to pass messages between services.
www.rabbitmq.com/repositorydocs
RabbitMQ is an open source messaging and streaming broker that applications use to pass messages between services. The homepage names AMQP 1.0 and MQTT 5.0 among its protocols. It is written in Erlang and runs on the Erlang/OTP runtime, and its server starts as a daemon when the Debian package is installed. The install guides cover apt, dnf or yum, Homebrew, Chocolatey, a Windows installer, a generic UNIX binary build, a community Docker image and a Kubernetes operator.
The management plugin provides a browser-based UI and an HTTP API for monitoring and administering nodes and clusters. Users carry tags, and the tags control access to that UI. Authentication can defer to an LDAP server, and an OAuth 2.0 backend plugin accepts JWT access tokens.
Worth knowing
Broadcom sells VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ, a commercial edition with longer support timelines, 24x7 support and disaster recovery features that the open source edition does not include.
