Summary

In this chapter, we covered the fundamentals of enterprise messaging solutions and discussed the features of RabbitMQ along with the installation process. A brief comparison with other messaging brokers was provided in order to reveal what the strengths and weaknesses of RabbitMQ are compared to the other alternatives. We also introduced a case study project CSN that makes use of RabbitMQ as a messaging solution for propagation of events throughout the system and lays the basis for further demonstrations on the various features of RabbitMQ.
