Introduction to Amazon MQ and its use cases

In this recipe, we will learn about Amazon MQ. We will also learn about the use cases of Amazon MQ.

Recipe Objective - Introduction to Amazon MQ and its use cases?

The Amazon MQ is a widely used service and is defined as a fully managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ that makes setting up and running message brokers on Amazon Web Services simple. By managing the provisioning, setup, and maintenance of message brokers for you, Amazon MQ reduces users' operational responsibilities. Because Amazon MQ uses industry-standard APIs and protocols to connect to their existing applications, users can easily migrate to AWS without having to rewrite code. Amazon MQ manages the administration and maintenance of ActiveMQ as a managed service. This includes responsibility for broker provisioning, patching, high-availability failure detection and recovery, and message durability. Users get direct access to the ActiveMQ console as well as industry-standard messaging APIs and protocols, such as JMS, NMS, AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket, with Amazon MQ. This enables users to switch from any message broker that supports these standards to Amazon MQ–along with the supported applications–without having to rewrite any code. For development and testing, users can create a single-instance Amazon MQ broker or an active/standby pair that spans AZs with quick, automatic failover. In either case, they get data replication across AZs as well as a pay-as-you-go broker instance and message storage model.

Benefits of Amazon MQ

  • Because Amazon MQ uses industry-standard APIs and protocols for messaging, such as JMS, NMS, AMQP 1.0 and 0-9-1, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket, connecting users' existing applications to it is simple. By simply updating the endpoints of their applications to connect to Amazon MQ, users can migrate from any message broker that uses these standards to Amazon MQ and thus migrate it quickly. Amazon MQ takes care of message broker administration and maintenance, as well as provisioning infrastructure for high availability. There's no need to provision hardware or install and maintain software because Amazon MQ handles tasks like software upgrades, security updates, and failure detection and recovery automatically and thus its responsibilities of Offload operational. When users connect their message brokers to Amazon MQ, it is automatically provisioned for high availability and message durability. Amazon MQ replicates messages across multiple Availability Zones (AZ) within an AWS region, ensuring that messages are always available even if a component or AZ fails and thus it makes durable messaging easy.

System Requirements

  • Any Operating System(Mac, Windows, Linux)

This recipe explains Amazon MQ and the Use cases of Amazon MQ.

Use cases of Amazon MQ

    • It has the use case of using industry level APIs

Java Message Service (JMS),.NET Message Service (NMS), AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, OpenWire, and WebSocket are among the industry-standard APIs and protocols used by Amazon MQ for messaging.

    • It manages administrative tasks

Administrative tasks such as hardware provisioning, broker setup, software upgrades, and failure detection and recovery are all handled by Amazon MQ.

    • It stores messages in multiple availability zones

Amazon MQ stores your messages in multiple Availability Zones to ensure redundancy (AZs).

    • It supports multiple types of brokers

Single-instance brokers for evaluation and testing, as well as active/standby brokers for high availability in production, are supported by Amazon MQ. In the event of a broker failure, or even a complete AZ outage, Amazon MQ switches to the standby broker automatically.
