to receive send messages.

create a channel, then create a NAMED queue if it does not exist, then send or receive message. A task is a technical data that is sent to be exchanged. A producer is a user application that sends messages. A queue is a buffer that stores messages. first-in-first-out (FIFO) A consumer is a user application that receives messages.

Work queues They will send time-consuming tasks to multiple consumers. Main reason: create concurrent consumers. prefetch, durable, persistent and noAck

Publish/Subscribe Pattern: deliver to multiple consumers through exchanges. Producer sends message to exchange which decided how and where to send message, then message goes to a queue, eventally the cunsumers listens the queue and consumes the message.

Exchange types. direct => queues are tied to a direct exchange. Binding key === routing key topic => Topic RabbitMQ exchange type sends messages to queues depending on wildcard matches between the routing key and the queue binding’s routing pattern. It uses something like regex headers => is a message routing system that uses arguments with headers and optional values to route messages. fanout => broadcast the same message to every queue it knows default => unnamed pre-declared direct exchange Dead Letter => exchange for messages which are published but they don't have consumers. For not delivered messages

channel.publish('logs', '', Buffer.from('Hello World!'));

the '' does not specify a named queue, binding key parameter

channel.assertQueue('', {
  exclusive: true
});

create a random named queue which is deleted when the connection is closed (exclusive)

Binding is the relation between exchange and queues

Topic List of words delimited by dots.

  • (star) can substitute for exactly one word.
  • (hash) can substitute for zero or more words.

Remote procedure call (RPC) A client sends a request message and a server replies with a response message. Message properties The AMQP 0-9-1 protocol predefines a set of 14 properties that go with a message. Most of the properties are rarely used, with the exception of the following:

  • persistent: Marks a message as persistent (with a value of true) or transient (false). You may remember this property from the second tutorial.
  • content_type: Used to describe the mime-type of the encoding. For example for the often used JSON encoding it is a good practice to set this property to: application/json.
  • reply_to: Commonly used to name a callback queue.
  • correlation_id: Useful to correlate RPC responses with requests.
