  • Writing a Message Broker in Golang
    Writing a Message Broker in GoLang George Vanburgh Supervised by Alvaro A.A. Fernandes May 3, 2016 A report submitted in part fulfilment of the degree of BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with Industrial Experience Abstract This report details an exercise in learning and evaluating the 'Go' programming language, by building a feature-rich application message broker using modern software engineering techniques and best practises. Some of the unique features of Go are presented, and the importance and relevance of these features in building simple, high-performance distributed software is explored. Discussion of the novel 'CSP-style' concurrency features in Go lead to an unorthodox design proposal for an enterprise-style messaging broker - George's Asynchronous Message Broker (gamq). The implementation of gamq is then is then described and critiqued. Finally, the process and results of the software testing are presented, and analysed.

  • A Survey of Distributed Message Broker Queues
    A Survey of Distributed Message Broker Queues Vineet John Xia Liu University of Waterloo University of Waterloo [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper surveys the message brokers that are in vogue today for distributed communication. Their primary goal is to facilitate the construction of decentralized topolo- gies without single points of failure, enabling fault tol- erance and high availability. These characteristics make them optimal for usage within distributed architectures. However, there are multiple protocols built to achieve this, and it would be beneficial to have a empirical comparison between their features and performance to determine their real-world applicability.

  • Message-Oriented Middleware As a Queue Management Solution to Improve Job Handling Within an E- Commerce System
    DEGREE PROJECT IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2018 Message-Oriented Middleware as a Queue Management Solution to Improve Job Handling within an E- Commerce System TOBIAS JOHANSSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE CONTENTS 1 Abstract Today’s applications are required to continuously adapt and adjust, to be able to meet a constant change in demand. As result of an in- creasing amount of data, choosing the right communication method becomes a vital step. A solution that have been functional for a long time, may at any point in time be unable to reach the level it requires and instead turns into bottlenecks and inefficient solutions. Using a database as a communication method between system enti- ties, does not have to be a bad solution. A database has it perks with being a simple solution and efficient query operations. However, us- ing it as a queue management system, requires entities to continuously poll new table entries. This solution may not be the most suitable nor best available option. There exists communication system developed for the specific purpose of efficiently distributing messages to avail- able parties. Implementing a message-oriented middleware enables for asynchronous communication which promotes applications to be more loosely cou- pled. As a result, available resources could be better utilised and im- prove the system performance. This degree project investigates the development and integration of two message-oriented middlewares, RabbitMQ and AcviteMQ, within an e-commerce system. The pur- pose is to explore the potentials of changing queue management sys- tem from a database to a message broker.

This paper discusses about why AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) technology is better at handling load than traditional REST (Representational State Transfer) communication. AMQP seems to be promising technology specially when there is massive data that is communicated between micro-services.

  • Perbandingan Kinerja Redis, Mosquitto, Dan Mongodb Sebagai Message Broker Pada Iot Middleware Fitri Febriyani1, Eko Sakti Pramukantoro2, Fariz Andri Bakhtiar3
    Jurnal Pengembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Ilmu Komputer e-ISSN: 2548-964X Vol. 3, No. 7, Juli 2019, hlm. 6816-6823 http://j-ptiik.ub.ac.id Perbandingan Kinerja Redis, Mosquitto, dan MongoDB sebagai Message Broker pada IoT Middleware Fitri Febriyani1, Eko Sakti Pramukantoro2, Fariz Andri Bakhtiar3 Program Studi Teknik Informatika, Fakultas Ilmu Komputer, Universitas Brawijaya Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstrak IoT middleware memiliki service unit yang menerapkan Redis message broker untuk menerima berbagai tipe data. Selain menerima data, message broker perlu scalable untuk menangani banyak data dan untuk terus beroperasi walaupun terjadi kegagalan. Penelitian ini melakukan perbandingan kinerja Redis, Mosquitto, dan MongoDB sebagai message broker pada IoT middleware secara bergantian. MongoDB dipilih karena karakteristik skalabilitasnya dan Mosquitto karena kinerjanya yang stabil. Hasil pengujian kinerja, penggunaan CPU terbaik saat read data adalah Mosquitto dengan rentang 8%-62%. Penggunaan CPU saat write data, penggunaan memori, dan runtime, hasil terbaik dimiliki Redis dengan nilai berkisar 13%-41%, 53MB-64MB, dan 54MB-59MB. Kemudian runtime saat write dan read data sebesar 2,37 detik dan 0,05 detik. Pada disk i/o, MongoDB memiliki kinerja yang terbaik saat write dan read data sebesar 111 megabit dan 689 megabit. Dalam hal skalabilitas, concurrent publish terbaik adalah Mosquitto sebesar 18 pesan per detik melalui CoAP dan 15 pesan per detik melalui MQTT. Kesimpulan yang dapat ditarik adalah Redis memiliki kinerja yang baik pada penggunaan CPU saat write data, penggunaan memori, runtime, dan kecepatan menangani data yang masuk. Dari segi disk i/o dan kecepatan membaca data, MongoDB memiliki kinerja yang terbaik.
