RabbitMQ vs. Kafka – An Architect’s Dilemma (Part 1)

It’s true FOSS, and the server is standalone Go binary that’s so small it can even be embedded. Lots of language bindings for clients. Has persistence, durability, and nicely aligns into a raft-like cluster in a DC without a separate orchestrator.

I’m a big fan – never understood why it’s not at the top of the list in these tech reviews.

I was mostly comparing against Kafka but yes I should def take a look at RabbitMQ again. I remember there was some reason it wasn’t a good fit for me but can’t recall what it was.

Are the horizontal scaling issues solved now?

Yes, if you use quorum queues
