kafkajs VS RabbitMQ

I will use the KafkaJS library to achieve it quickly. Let’s just paste the code here.

The streaming database writes back results to Kafka topics by using sink operation in real-time. Now, we need to add JavaScript code to consume and process discount messages received from Kafka and update the UI in real-time to display them. We can use the KafkaJS library, which is a popular Kafka client for Node.js to listen and consume Kafka messages.

Before we start producing and consuming events, we need to install Kafka to our API. We will use the Kafka.js client library for Node.js.

Once Kafka runs on Kube-native support that Strimzi offers, you can now start utilizing Node.js to create your streams and use libraries such as KafkaJS, a modern Apache Kafka client for Node.js.

Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

Messaging/Queueing Systems (Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, Beanstalkd)

Later, we discovered Propan, a library created by Nikita Pastukhov, which solved similar problems but for RabbitMQ. Recognizing the potential for collaboration, we joined forces with Nikita to build a unified library that could work seamlessly with both Kafka and RabbitMQ. And that's how FastStream came to be—a solution born out of the need for simplicity and efficiency in microservices development.

Inter-Service Communication: Middleware provides communication channels and protocols that enable microservices to communicate with each other. This can include message brokers like RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, RPC frameworks like gRPC, or RESTful APIs.

This is an implementation of pub/sub. The publisher is on a separate project. The message broker is Azure Service Bus. We use NServiceBus for code implementation. I use rabbitMQ broker for local tests. Nothing I can do about the tech stack. This is more of a high level single project structure review 😅

RabbitMQ is a robust and highly configurable open-source message broker that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

When using third-party services, especially within a "transaction", it's often a good idea to use a persistent Message Queue (MQ) system like RabbitMQ. Go through all their tutorials to get a really good understanding of how message queues work and how they can be used to solve your problem.

The best technical solution to provide the event queues is to use a message-broker technology like RabbitMQ.
