A message broker that manages the sending and receiving of messages between applications.

Producer

An application that publishes messages to RabbitMQ.

Consumer

An application that subscribes to and consumes messages from RabbitMQ.

Queue

The temporary storage location for messages in RabbitMQ. Messages are stored here until consumed.

Topic Exchange

A type of exchange that uses wildcard patterns (routing keys) to match messages to specific queues.

Stream Storage

RabbitMQ Streams store messages on the file system, allowing them to grow indefinitely until the host disk space is exhausted.

Stream Size Limit

RabbitMQ Streams can be configured with a maximum log data size to prevent them from consuming the entire disk space. Once the limit is reached, the oldest messages are discarded.

Stream Throughput

RabbitMQ Streams are designed for exceptionally high throughput message processing, handling significantly more messages per second compared to Quorum queues.
