Overview of this book

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. Following the case study of Complete Car, you’ll discover how you can use RabbitMQ to provide exceptional customer service and user experience, and see how a message queue architecture makes it easy to upgrade the app and add features as the company grows. From implementing simple synchronous operations through to advanced message routing and tracking, you’ll explore how RabbitMQ streamlines scalable operations for fast distribution. This book will help you understand the advantages of message queue architecture, including application scalability, resource efficiency, and user reliability. Finally, you’ll learn best practices for working with RabbitMQ and be able to use this book as a reference guide for your future app development projects. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to use message queuing software to streamline the development of your distributed and scalable applications.

Getting ready for RabbitMQ

To get started, the following three installation and configuration steps need to be completed:

Installing the RabbitMQ broker
Installing the management plugin (Web UI)
Configuring the vhost and user

Let's start by installing the broker!

Installing the broker

CC runs its production servers on Ubuntu Linux. One developer has macOS and Linux, while the other one is all Windows. This heterogeneity is not a concern for RabbitMQ, which can run natively on all these operating systems.

RabbitMQ provides complete online installation guides for all the supported operating systems, and they can be found here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html. This book contains instructions for Debian/Ubuntu, where RabbitMQ is installed from the apt repository. It also contains instructions for Docker further down in this chapter.
