Learn basic to advanced RabbitMQ techniques with the help of a realistic case study shared by the experts from CloudAMQP

Key FeaturesDelve into message queues with this comprehensive RabbitMQ guideExplore message queue architecture evolution with the help of a realistic case studyDiscover strategies for improving scalability and fault tolerance of a message queue architectureBook DescriptionRabbitMQ is an open source message queuing software that acts as a message broker using the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). This book will help you to get to grips with RabbitMQ to build your own applications with a message queue architecture. You’ll learn from the experts from CloudAMQP as they share what they've learned while managing the largest fleet of RabbitMQ clusters in the world.

Following the case study of Complete Car, you’ll discover how you can use RabbitMQ to provide exceptional customer service and user experience, and see how a message queue architecture makes it easy to upgrade the app and add features as the company grows. From implementing simple synchronous operations through to advanced message routing and tracking, you’ll explore how RabbitMQ streamlines scalable operations for fast distribution. This book will help you understand the advantages of message queue architecture, including application scalability, resource efficiency, and user reliability. Finally, you’ll learn best practices for working with RabbitMQ and be able to use this book as a reference guide for your future app development projects.

By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to use message queuing software to streamline the development of your distributed and scalable applications.

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book feels rushed and ``first draft''. To my taste, it tries too hard to have lighter tone and be friendly to the point that text sometimes feels cheesy and as if it was for children. ``Keep reading to learn more'' — I am already reading it, there is no need to sell the book to me in the middle of the text. Those are stylistic issues anyway, but they do affect my perception of a book.

That said, it still is a nice and fast (re)introduction to RabbitMQ and AMQP in general on a somewhat practical example. I believe it is a good start for beginners, where concepts are explained one at a time, and I think that this book some times does it better than the official RabbitMQ documentation. Later could be used to fill in the gaps in already established understanding of a service.
