RabbitMQ is a message broker, providing a communication structure between components and services. Thanks to the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and all available RabbitMQ client libraries, most major programming languages and services are able to work together seamlessly, in an asynchronous manner.

This book explores the powerful possibilities of RabbitMQ by delving into the basic fundamentals through the user journey of Complete Car (CC), a fictitious taxi dispatch company with real-life user requirements.

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 who are 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.
