RabbitMQ

When should developers use RabbitMQ instead of a database-backed queue?

The question is about RabbitMQ .

Answer:

RabbitMQ is the better choice when: message throughput exceeds what a PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY or database queue table can handle without affecting primary database performance; complex message routing across multiple consumer types is necessary; dead letter queue management must operate independently of the application database; or background job processing requires to scale horizontally across several worker instances without database polling overhead.
