What Is Message Queuing Service?

TechDogs Avatar

A message queuing service is a middleware solution that allows applications and services to communicate within a cloud computing environment. It's like a call center, except computers, send messages back and forth instead of people. In cloud computing, this is achieved through a combined solution consisting of an Infrastructure as a Service cloud and Software as a Service solution. Message queuing service is a middleware solution that allows applications and services to communicate within a cloud computing environment. Integrating and collaborating physically different systems and applications on run time through a cloud system or interface-managed message queue. Message queuing service is primarily a temporary storage place that stores intra-applications and messages sent and received by other applications, services, computers and systems. In the context of the cloud, a combined solution consists of an Infrastructure as a Service cloud and a Software Service solution. We can use message queuing service for various purposes, such as: Sending messages between two or more parties/systems asynchronously (without waiting for a response). Guaranteeing the delivery of messages even if one party fails during the transmission or retrieval process due to network connectivity problems or other physical failures within the network infrastructure Message queuing is an asynchronous form of message passing. Messages are placed into a queue and later retrieved by another application. This type of message passing is used in situations where the speed of the message is less important than the reliability of the message or when an application needs to send a message to another application, and the programming model of that application does not support message passing. In essence, message queuing is a service that manages the flow of communication between applications. Messenger, Kafka, ActiveMQ, and RabbitMQ have used message queuing services widely. A message queuing service is like a post office for your apps. It stores messages and ensures they get to the right people at the right time, even if they're not online.
