Hello.

My company is implementing RabbitMQ for a few of our products, and we are soon ready to go live. With develop the client in .Net, and currently have RabbitMQ set up on a Windows machine (for test environment).

We recently set up a Redis cache, which showed magnitudes better performance on Linux than Windows.

I have tried to google a little, but found relatively few (recent) answers.

Are there an advantages of choosing one of the other?
Ease of setup/maintaining?

Limits in performance?

Relevant that the client is written in .Net?

Thank you very much in advance

A significantly larger % of users run on Linux. We occasionally see Windows-specific

issues, too. Provisioning automation on Linux is many years ahead on Linux.

I don't see any reason to host data services on Windows unless you are mandated to use it

or the data service in question is the SQL Server.

I doubt you will see "magnitudes" better throughput but Erlang VM on Windows does not use IO Completion Ports

but it does use epoll and kqueue when they are available.
