When to use RabbitMQ over Kafka? [closed]

Answer 1

Use RabbitMQ when:

• You don’t have to handle with Bigdata and you prefer a convenient in-built UI for monitoring
• No need of automatically replicable queues
• No multi subscribers for the messages- Since unlike Kafka which is a log, RabbitMQ is a queue and messages are removed once consumed and acknowledgment arrived
• If you have the requirements to use Wildcards and regex for messages
• If defining message priority is important

In Short: RabbitMQ is good for simple use cases, with low traffic of data, with the benefit of priority queue and flexible routing options. For massive data and high throughput use Kafka.
