Why RabbitMQ vs. MSMQ, Azure, Amazon, or ActiveMQ etc.

[Brady Kelly]

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I've seen a lot of message queue implementations out there, and RabbitMQ seems quite new. Is there some overriding architectural paradigm that sets it apart from competitors? Is it the details in the APIs that make it clear and simple to use, or is it remarkable reconfigurability that sets it apart? 

I'm going to make a point of giving RabbitMQ a trial in a semi-experimental project I've just started, and going to create a queuing requirement just for it, but I have only a vague notion of all the different types of queuing requirement types out in the real world, and whether RabbitMQ can satisfy most of them, or a certain subset.

The short version of my question is thus just, why RabbitMQ?

"and RabbitMQ seems quite new"

I try to address your question here (scroll to the beginning of Chapter 1):

It's over 8 years old at this point

Thank you, Gavin.

That chapter provided quite a few good answers, enough to answer my question. One if the biggest is that it's open source.

Cheers

There are some benchmark, it looks like kafka is very fast than others,

Kafka may lose data in some rare conditions, eg broker crash with messages not flush to disk (while rabbit has confirms)

here is a comparison of rabbit and kafka: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rabbitmq-users/aDT4rTRceRs

Considering all the improvements we did performance wise to RabbitMQ this year, I would say that a benchmark that was run on early 2015 it's quite outdated.

Besides, one should not choose messaging systems for "which one's the fastest one", but which one provides the features for the system I want to build.
