amqp VS PHP AMQP

Basically this code, connects to our rabbitmQ using the streadway/amqp package which is the golang standard library for communicating with rabbitmQ, next we declare a unique channel to enable us pass across message to a specific queue. Then we call the Consume function which takes in a parameter of *amqp.Channel which is the channel we created previously.

For rabbitmq I used -> https://github.com/streadway/amqp which is deprecated now for -> https://github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go

"github.com/streadway/amqp"

I’d also recommend looking into learning Go. I’ve been using this library and it’s great.

We're currently using streadway/amqp as RabbitMQ client library. It is well-documented and very stable on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is pretty low-level and leaves up a lot of things to the user. For example, we're in charge of handling the connections and channels ourselves and implemented our very own error handling and reconnection logic as well.

AMQP is a messaging protocol most commonly used by RabbitMQ. As I discuss in the README, the officially sanctioned RabbitMQ driver, streadway/amqp isamazing but does not support automatic redials. If your connection to the message broker goes down, you have to find a way to distribute a new connection to all routines utilizing it. It's always a tedious exercisee, especially when you have multiple projects that work with RabbitMQ.

I installed rabbitmq succesfully and went through the tutorials without trouble: http://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html

Microservices have nothing to do with Nest vs Express or anything like that. It's really just about breaking your code into smaller services and then using a mechanism to communicate between them. Hell, you can even have one service using Nest and the other Express if your communication mechanism is HTTP. A more robust system typically uses something like RabbitMQ, which allows for different types of messaging patterns and asynchronous messaging.

One day I was trying to learn the deep concepts of RabbitMQ, its use cases and why it's different from other message brokers. I've started by reading the cool documentation and then I was eager to try it out in a demo application.

Having said that, RabbitMQ has wonderful tutorials, and a lot of effort has gone into making it accessible for newcomers. Here you go: https://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html

I'm not going to explain every argument of the called methods. If you want to better understand each of them, take the RabbitMQ tutorial. It's pretty simple and will give you all the information you need!

If you are not familiar with RabbitMQ or the streadway/amqp driver, you can try it out using the official tutorials. Just replace any "github.com/streadway/amqp" import statements with "github.com/peake100/rogerRabbit-go/pkg/amqp". If you find a tutorial this does not work for, please open a PR!
