Best Message Queue Software for meshIQ

RabbitMQ is lightweight, portable, and easy to use on the premises or in the cloud. It supports multiple messaging protocols. RabbitMQ can both be deployed in distributed or federated configurations to meet high availability and scale requirements.

Apache Kafka®, is an open-source distributed streaming platform.

Massive amounts data can be moved as messages between services, applications and systems at any one time. If an application isn’t available or a service interruption occurs, messages and transactions may be lost or duplicated. This can cost businesses time and money. IBM has refined IBM MQ over the past 25 years. MQ allows you to hold a message in a queue until it is delivered. MQ moves data once, even file data, to avoid competitors delivering messages twice or not at the right time. MQ will never lose a message. IBM MQ can be run on your mainframe, in containers, in public or private clouds or in containers. IBM offers an IBM-managed cloud service (IBM MQ Cloud), hosted on Amazon Web Services or IBM Cloud, as well as a purpose-built Appliance (IBM MQ Appliance), to simplify deployment and maintenance.

Apache ActiveMQ®, a Java-based, open-source, multi-protocol message broker, is one of the most popular. It supports industry-standard protocols, so users can enjoy the benefits of client options across a wide range of languages and platforms. Connect to clients written in JavaScript and C++. Use the ubiquitous AMQP protocol to integrate multi-platform applications. Use STOMP over websockets to exchange messages between web applications. Manage your IoT devices using MQTT. Support your existing JMS infrastructure, and more. ActiveMQ has the flexibility and power to support any messaging use case. There are currently two ActiveMQ flavors available: the well-known "classic broker" and the "next-generation" broker code-named Artemis. Artemis will be the next major ActiveMQ version once it reaches sufficient feature parity with its "Classic" code base. Artemis has an initial migration document and a development roadmap.

IBM® Event Streams, an event-streaming platform built on Apache Kafka open-source software, is a smart app that reacts to events as they occur. Event Streams is based upon years of IBM operational experience running Apache Kafka stream events for enterprises. Event Streams is ideal for mission-critical workloads. You can extend the reach and reach of your enterprise assets by connecting to a variety of core systems and using a scalable RESTAPI. Disaster recovery is made easier by geo-replication and rich security. Use the CLI to take advantage of IBM productivity tools. Replicate data between Event Streams deployments during a disaster-recovery scenario.
