RabbitMQ
Reliable, scalable, asynchronous messaging that delivers every time. Perfect for use in mission-critical applications.
World-leading RabbitMQ experts
RabbitMQ is one of the most deployed open source message brokers available, trusted by some of the world’s biggest companies including Adidas Runtastic, Reddit and Trivago. RabbitMQ is perfect for use as a general message bus in a monolith system, as an advanced routing layer for microservices and as a mediation layer integrated into legacy systems.
To simplify it, if you have two machines or software services that need to communicate to each other, RabbitMQ is the perfect mediator to store and pass messages to ensure your systems are reliable, scalable and always available. Our expert RabbitMQ team – recently rebranded as Seventh State offers consultancy, health checks, support, monitoring and training to ensure your use of RabbitMQ is successful.

Case Study
In March 2020, many countries around the world went into lockdown, making gyms and other forms of exercise inaccessible. This led to a huge, unexpected spike in the number of people using mobile running and training apps. The unexpected user spike caused Runtastic, the app of one of the world’s
leading sporting brands, to experience high latency which in turn resulted in user delays and in extreme cases, destruction of service. Find out how our team helped them solve the problem and empowered them to identify and prevent future bottlenecks.

RabbitMQ vs Kafka
RabbitMQ and Kafka are two very different beasts and are best suited to different needs. Ensure that you have the right tool for your system.
RabbitMQ is a battle-tested message broker which is able to support complex routing scenarios and federated queues. At its core, RabbitMQ is AMQP-based, highly reliable, and broker-centric with its focus on message delivery guarantees. It can reliably broker communication and integration within, and between applications running different languages. This makes it best suited for complex systems handling critical information, albeit at a slower rate (20k+/sec) than Kafka.
In contrast, Kafka does not offer delivery guarantees, federated queues or support for complex routing scenarios. But it makes up for this in its speed (100k+/sec), making it best suited for systems whose applications can do most of the heavy lifting, and whose requirements are performance and horizontal scalability. First introduced in 2011, Kafka’s speed and agility come with their limitations. Do you need help figuring out which solution is best for you?
