Message oriented protocols
AMQP - RabbitMQ
ZeroMQ
Cloud
NATS
4
Protocols
 Stomp – Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Message
Protocol
 MQTT – Message Queue Telemetry Transport
 AMQT – Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
 Vendor specific (Kafka,NATS,ZeroMQ etc)
STOMP – Simple Text Oriented Message Protocol
• Simple interoperable protocol for asynchronous
messaging
• coming from HTTP school of design
• Text Based
• Communication between client and server is
through a 'frame'
• Client frames : SEND,SUBSCRIBE/ UNSUBSCRIBE,
ACK/NACK…
• Server frames: MESSAGE,RECEIPT,ERROR
STOMP
SERVER
Client Client
Send Subscribe
Message
Receipt
ACK/NACK
MQTT – Message Queue Telemetry Transport
• Created by IBM for
embedded devices telemetry
• Ideal for constrained
networks (low bandwidth,
high latency, data limits, and
fragile connections)
• Binary format (2-byte header)
• Pub/Sub
• Reliable – QoS for reliability
on unreliable networks
• Security
• Authentication
• TLS/SSL
• Simple – 43 page spec.
• Connect/Disconnect + Publish
+ Subscribe/Unsubscribe

AMQP – Advanced Message Queue Protocol
Conceived by JP Morgan in
2006
Answer to current Middleware
Hell
100’s of applications
10,000’s of links
every connection different
massive waste of effort
Goal to make interoperable

13
RabbitMQ
14
• Clustering
• Act as single logical unit
• Consumer seen cluster as a single
node
• Automatic metadata replication
• Mirrored queues
• Federation/Shovel
• Consumes and republishers
• Exchange to exchange
• Works well across WAN
• Two main difference
• Shovel is low level
• Shovel is more flexible
RabbitMQ
15
• Know your rabbit (DevOps!)
• Erlang
• Configuration are Erlang tuples
• You will need to deal with Erlang's message
passing framework
• Reading source and extend the system will
be difficult
• Optimized for discrete message
handling
• No content filtering
• It's not too fast
• Optimized for discrete message handling
• Fan-out ~35000 mps
• Direct ~35000 mps
• Topic ~10000 mps
• Consistent-Hash(plugin) ~40000 mps
RabbitMQ
• Community support

No more brokers
19
• Brokers are single point of failure
• Not horizontally scalable
• Reduce reliability with addition of nodes
• HA provides minimal benefit, and adds
complexity
20
ZeroMQ
What Ø come for?
The original Ø meant:
• Zero broker
• Zero latency (as close as possible)
With the time
• Zero administration
• Zero cost
• Zero waste
21
ZeroMQ
22
ZeroMQ
Creators - iMatix CEO Pieter Hintjens and Martin
Sustrik
Super socket library
Language agnostic (40+ languages)
Multiple network protocols
Multiple connection patterns
High throughput/low latency (~5m mps, 30usec
latency)
Messages
Batching
Atomic
Small (~25k lines of code)
Open source. Large supported community.
Multiple forks (nanomessage)
23
ZeroMQ - Cons
24
Durability
Static routing
No out of the box solution
Service discovery
Management
Delivery deadlines
QoS
Low level
Internal queue management
ZeroMQ - Sockets
• Unicast – inproc, ipc (except on
Windows), tcp
• Multicast – pgm, epgm
• Asynchronous
• Designed for particular messaging
patterns
• Connect to multiple endpoints
• Automatically reconnect
• Queue messages when under heavy
load
25
ZeroMQ - Sockets
26
• PUB - Outgoing broadcast
• SUB - Broadcast listener
• REQ - Synchronous (1 msg at a time)
request
• REP - Synchronous reply
• DEALER - Async request
• ROUTER - Async reply
• PUSH - One way outgoing to PULL(s)
• PULL - One way incoming from
PUSH(es)
• PAIR - One-to-one 2-way with
another PAIR
PUB and SUB
REQ and REP

Cloud
You host your services on cloud
You don’t have a dedicated budget or skills to
maintain your own queueing system
You aren’t necessarily interested in lowest
latency
You prefer easy solutions over powerful
solutions when queuing is considered
You don’t plan on processing large amounts of
messages
31
Self - hosted
32
Your system is distributed or hosted outside of public
cloud
You want an open solution that you can reuse
You’re worried about latency
You want to configure exchanges or use some other
non-trivial methods of message distribution
You want your queuing system to be extendable and
configurable, and
You want maximum performance and have dedicated
resources to invest in your messaging solution.
Azure

Storage queue
PROS
• Can store over 80Gb in queue
• Low cost (100x cheaper than Azure Service Bus)
• Batch receive (up to 32 messages)
• Only pay for storage and operations
• Redundancy(LRS, ZRS, GRS, RA-GRS)
• Rest api
CONS
• Maximum size of a message is 64KB
• Maximum mps is 2000
• Maximum TTL for each message is 7 days
• No order guaranty
• Only polling (for receiver)
• No batch support for sender

matching/limitng)
NATS Streaming
Layer on top of NATS
Enhanced message protocol - NATS Streaming implements its own
enhanced message format using Google Protocol Buffers.
Message/event persistence
QoS
Flow control (rate matching/limiting)
Message replay by subject
All available messages
Last published value
All messages since specific sequence number
All messages since a specific date/time
Durable subscribers

NATS Streaming

NATS
48
Chart source: https://dzone.com/articles/benchmarking-nats-

NATS cluster
49
• For high availability, a full mash of NATS servers
can be setup
• Clients can connect to any of nodes to
communicate with other clients, the NATS cluster
would then route the messages
• Routing will be done if clients showed interests in
subject
• Whenever a new NATS servers joins then
members already in cluster connected as well to
form the full mash
