The queues and the publishing are quite useful. We're able to create hierarchies and control channels and flows to control what is going from which queue.

Allowing for a fully asynchronous solution is crucial for this particular feature. The seamless nature of creating and connecting to a queue makes it really easy to code and understand. Pivotal Cloud Foundry allows us to easily scale the number of consumers (or receivers) as well. So far, no hiccups have been found with the PCF implementation.

The high availability and not having to replicate is valuable as is the message consumer. It can be configured depending on the use case to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and the plugin architecture. One of the things that makes it unique is that all of the components for messaging can be created programmatically, meaning you can have services or applications that get spun up or have auto incrementing instances. If you're in an elastic environment, you don't have to pre-configure the messaging system and the keys don't have to be known ahead of time.

The most valuable feature of RabbitMQ is the ability to set up workflows simply with configuration. We had some very complex problems (logging, auditing, sequential and parallel operations) that have been easily solved by inserting a queue in the middle of an existing workflow.

Some of the most valuable features are “publish and subscribe”, fanout queueing, and scalability.

We have a number of different use cases in our scenario. A key one is “publish and subscribe”. We have spent the last year breaking up a large monolithic application into microservices and each microservice has to subscribe to different events for the purpose of CQRS and other kinds of updates. RabbitMQ is perfect for “publish and subscribe”. It does an awesome job at fanout, perfect for CQRS, messages are delivered to all subscribers with almost no additional latency.

RabbitMQ is a solid, widely-used messaging system with a low cost-of-ownership. It is open, but with commercial support potentially available from Pivotal if required. (We have never needed it.) There is also a strong online user community.

One crucial feature was guaranteed messaging. We needed a solution that we could trust to not lose data.

Its built-in clustering capability allowed us to configure it as a highly available message broker, so that we can have confidence in the resilience of our architecture.

It can be scaled as well, although we have not tested this.

After almost two years' usage in our production environment, I am impressed by how stable the platform is - even when running on Windows Server 2012. Sure, we have had to tweak our set-up here and there as we have learned a few operational lessons along the way but overall it is very good.

The most valuable feature is it’s robustness. Message queues need to be extremely reliable as they are the glue between system components.

Also, the speed is important and its good scaling capabilities.

It has solved issues such as queue processing, real-time data processing and decrease count of Cron jobs.

The management of Cron jobs is very hard for me. If you are using RabbitMQ, you may not need a Cron job since you can create a consumer for a queue and listen to the queue in real-time. For example, you need to send an email for your new members but you want to do this from your software. The reason being if you encounter an SMTP error, you should handle it or sending an email from your membership activity can take about 5-10 seconds. If you don't use RabbitMQ, you need to create a Cron job and check for new members to send an email to them. But, if you use RabbitMQ, you do not need a Cron job. You can send a message to your queue and consume it in real-time and then send the email.

We find authentication, performance, and durable messaging the most valuable features. Due to the nature of my use case, performance and security were of the highest priority and were the main reason I chose RabbitMQ messaging frameworks.

Over time, the most useful feature became the ability to create durable queues, which increased reliability and also boosted performance.

The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent. You know how much you are going to pay if you want the commercial version. If you want the open-source version, you do not have to pay anything and that is just as reliable as the commercial one.

The security is great. The interface is nothing special. The support hasn't been that great. You need to go online yourself, to the developer community for support. But apart from that, I think it's fairly secured, quite robust, and stable so far.
