AMQP: From Concept To Code Part 2

Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is a new way of looking at messaging that is quickly gaining in popularity and use, particularly in the financial services industry. Unlike JMS, which defines a standard API across platforms, AMQP defines a standard wire-level protocol across languages and platforms, finally making true cross-platform messaging a reality. This is a two-part session. In this session (part 2) I will move beyond “hello amqp” and discuss more detailed aspects of amqp, including such topics as performance, rabbitmq administration, exchange and queue declaration considerations (that topic is really cool), load balancing, how to implement pub/sub in amqp, and how to manage undelivered messages. I will demonstrate and explain all of the examples and topics discussed in this session with hands-on live coding.

Agenda:

  • amqp performance characteristics (how does it perform?)
  • rabbitmq admin console commands
  • pre-defining queues and exchanges
  • amqp routing considerations
  • load balancing
  • publish-and-subscribe model
  • managing undelivered messages
