RabbitMQ

Asynchronous Communication in Microservices

RabbitMQ was the primary message broker in the DJPConnect project, enabling our microservices to communicate asynchronously and reliably. My experience with RabbitMQ was central to building a resilient and scalable system.

I implemented messaging patterns to handle tasks like sending notifications, processing background jobs, and ensuring eventual consistency between services. This involved defining exchanges, queues, and bindings to route messages correctly and implementing consumers in our PHP (Symfony) and Java (Spring Boot) services to process them.

Key Competencies

• AMQP Concepts: Strong understanding of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), including exchanges, queues, bindings, and routing keys.
• Messaging Patterns: Implementing patterns like Publish/Subscribe and Work Queues.
• Integration: Integrating RabbitMQ with backend frameworks like Symfony (Messenger Component) and Spring Boot.
• System Design: Using a message bus to decouple services and improve system resilience.
