Why use RabbitMQ?
RabbitMQ enables developers of messaging solutions to take advantage of not just AMQP but also one of the most proven systems on the planet. The Open Telecom Platform (OTP) is used by multiple telecommunications companies to manage switching exchanges for voice calls, VoIP and now video. These systems are designed to never go down and to handle truly vast user loads. And because the systems cannot be taken offline, they have to be very flexible, for instance it must be possible to ‘hot deploy’ features and fixes on the fly whilst managing a consistent user SLA. Instead of creating a new messaging infrastructure, the RabbitMQ team selected the best one for the need, and built an AMQP layer on top. This combines the robustness and scalability of a proven platform with the flexibility of AMQP’s messaging model.
