RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that enables event-driven architecture (EDA) by decoupling services and ensuring reliable message delivery.
RabbitMQ offers ease of use, quick setup, and flexible messaging patterns like work queues, pub-sub model, and routing and topic exchanges.
With language agnostic support, lightweight efficiency, and integration with DevOps tools, RabbitMQ is ideal for polyglot microservices architectures and can be deployed in various environments.
While RabbitMQ focuses on traditional message queuing and reliability, Kafka is more suitable for high-throughput event streaming and real-time analytics.
