Is AMQP production ready?

Question

I'd like to use AMQP to join two services one written in C# and other written in python. I'm expecting quite large volume of messages per second.

• Is there any AMQP Broker that is production ready?
• Are the python & .net bindings good enough?

Answer 1

It seams that reddit said that rabbitMQ isn't ready as of may 2010. http://blog.reddit.com/2010/05/reddits-may-2010-state-of-servers.html

On the other hand the article is about rabbitMQ < 2.0 which was crashing because of out of memory problems. According to release notes the version 2.0 and above has this bug fixed.

Answer 2

Yes: RabbitMQ

Answer 3

I would recommend robomq.io. It is built on RabbitMQ core and has more extensions, e.g. messaging dashboard, realtime analytics, data-driven alerts, big data storage...

If you like high throughput, the record of robomq.io is 170 billion messages per day.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by Python & .NET binding. If you want cross-platform communication. robomq.io is your right choice. Not only cross-language, but also cross-prototol, among AMQP, MQTT and STOMP.

Check out elaborate docs (http://robomq.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) and sdk (https://github.com/robomq/robomq.io/tree/master/sdk) of robomq.io.
