This is the code repository for RabbitMQ Essentials - Second Edition, published by Packt.
Build distributed and scalable applications with message queuing using RabbitMQ
RabbitMQ is an open source message queuing software that acts as a message broker using the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). This book will help you to get to grips with RabbitMQ to build your own applications with a message queue architecture. You’ll learn from the experts from CloudAMQP as they share what they've learned while managing the largest fleet of RabbitMQ clusters in the world.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Get well versed with RabbitMQ’s message queue architecture and features
- Discover the benefits of RabbitMQ, AMQP, and message queuing
- Install and configure RabbitMQ and its plugins
- Get to grips with the management console features and controls
- Understand how queue and exchange types differ and when and how to use them

All of the code is organized into folders. For example,
The code will look like the following:
connection = Bunny.new ENV['RABBITMQ_URI']
# Start a session with RabbitMQ
connection.start
Following is what you need for this book: If you are a professional enterprise developer or someone who just codes for fun, RabbitMQ Essentials is a valuable resource on open-source message queue architecture. Even those already familiar with microservices and messaging will discover value in reading this book for an exploration of moving forward with best practices and resource efficiency. This book will give you the push you need to get started with creating new and exciting applications or migrating existing monoliths to a microservice architecture.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-7).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |

| 1 to 6 | Python 2.7, Ruby 2.7 and A web browser | Mac OS X, and Linux (Any) |
Code repository containing examples from the book Rabbit MQ Essentials Second Edition. Code is available from the folder corresponding to the chapter name. This repository includes tests and further documentation.
RabbitMQ can be set up on your own machine, which is described in the book. Another option is to skip the hassle of the installation and configuration and use a hosted RabbitMQ solution. CloudAMQP is the largest provider of hosted RabbitMQ clusters, and free setups are availbale at: www.cloudamqp.com.
The book also uses the docker setup similar to that defined in the Docker compose file. You shuold review the file before running docker-compose up. There are default usernames and passwords in this file used to connect to the broker. You should change these defaults as they are easy to guess if testing in an insecure space.
We also provide a PDF file that has color images of the screenshots/diagrams used in this book. Click here to download it.
