DESCRIPTION
There's a virtual switchboard at the heart of most large applications, where millions of messages and requests need to be routed to and from the servers, programs, and services that make up the system. RabbitMQ is an efficient, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy queue that makes handling this message traffic virtually effortless. Offered under an open source license and fully supported by VMware. Inc, RabbitMQ is an ideal message queue for applications of all sizes, ranging from web startups to massive enterprise systems. Because it's language neutral, RabbitMQ integrates seamlessly into applications written in C++, Java, Python, Erlang, and other standard languages.
RabbitMQ in Action is a fast-paced run through building and managing scalable applications using the RabbitMQ messaging server. It starts by explaining how message queuing works, its history and how RabbitMQ fits in. Then it shows you real-world examples you can apply to your own scalability and interoperability challenges. By the end, you'll even know how to make Rabbit purr like a well-oiled machine in a 24x7x365 environment.
In it, you'll learn
- the difference between an exchange, a queue and a binding
- how topic exchanges can help you implement a Twitter-like PubSub service in 30 minutes flat
- how RabbitMQ can easily glue a front-end written in PHP to a back-end written in anything
- how to configure RabbitMQ's built-in clustering to power a 24x7 application
- common messaging design patterns that enable applications to scale on demand
Along the way you'll learn why message passing is the preferred (and most effective) method of achieving "cloud scale" for your applications and how RabbitMQ makes it a snap to build this pattern into your applications. Whether you're looking to write programs that scale by using messaging, want to glue together apps written in different languages, or need to administer RabbitMQ in a production environment, this book will help you get what you need out of RabbitMQ fast.
