SummaryRabbitMQ in Depth is a practical guide to building and maintaining message-based applications. This book provides detailed coverage of RabbitMQ with an emphasis on why it works the way it does.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyAt the heart of most modern distributed applications is a queue that buffers, prioritizes, and routes message traffic. RabbitMQ is a high-performance message broker based on the Advanced Message Queueing Protocol. It?s battle tested, ultrafast, and powerful enough to handle anything you can throw at it. It requires a few simple setup steps, and you can instantly start using it to manage low-level service communication, application integration, and distributed system message routing.About the BookRabbitMQ in Depth is a practical guide to building and maintaining message-based applications.

Truly worthy of its name, RabbitMQ in Depth covers basically everything you'll ever need to know about RabbitMQ whether you're developing message publishers and consumers, tuning message throughput through clustering, integrating directly with databases or developing that hot new RabbitMQ plug-in.

Aside from covering a wide variety of topics, the parts that I as a developer found most useful and insightful were chapters 3 through 6 which deal with publishing and consuming of messages - packed with easy-to-follow examples written in Python, the chapters also feature various messaging patterns and best practices and also give careful consideration to performance impacts that each of the approaches incurs.

Filled with pragmatic advice and pearls of wisdom - it felt like I highlighted every other passage of selected chapters - this is the kind of book I wish I had when I first encountered RabbitMQ, years back.

A decent book on RabbitMQ, helped me understand how RabbitMQ works.

Хороший обзор RabbitMQ, начиная от структуры сообщения и заканчивая federated exchange. Также даются примеры прямых интеграций с postgresql и influxdb, и описание какого-то http интерфейса, написанного автором, с последним коммитом в 2013. В целом понравилось, но надо быть внимательным, некоторые главы советую спорные решения или устаревшие тулы.

Excellent and not too lengthy dive into the internals and common use cases for RabbitMQ.

Great book for all level of engineers who is seeking for deep understanding about AMQP and RabbitMQ. The best part of the book is the very intuitive samples and easy to understand usecases.

Very nice and detailed overview of RabbitMQ functionality. I specifically want to mention that the book covers a lot of ground - from low-level details of specification to the high-level typical use-cases and, in addition to that, contains well laid-out examples using Jupyter notebooks and Vagrant-based virtual machines, so it provides a lot of practical experience in addition to the theory.

Lots of information about RabbitMQ.

Great book for architects and library developers.

The only thing that is currently missing is managing virtual hosts.
