Course details
RabbitMQ is one of the most popular open-source message brokers in use today. This lightweight software can help companies that have adopted a microservices model stitch together and enable communication between their services. In this hands-on course, join instructor Peter Morlion as he demonstrates how developers can properly install and work with RabbitMQ to create messaging applications.
After delving into the fundamental concepts behind message-based systems and the AMQP message protocol, Peter explains how to implement RabbitMQ as he steps through a sample application. He covers both basic usage, such as how to publish to and consume from a RabbitMQ exchange, as well as more advanced topics like setting up and using authentication in RabbitMQ. Whether you are configuring a new RabbitMQ instance or integrating it into existing systems, this course can equip you with the skills to build robust solutions for your enterprise applications.
Learning objectives
Design a RabbitMQ messaging topology for use in your code.
Explain how message-based systems are used.
Describe AMQP protocol.
Publish to RabbitMQ.
Filter messages with direct and topic exchanges.
Set up and use authentication.
Authorize and block application actions.
Track message contents for troubleshooting.
