About:
Apache ActiveMQ is a high-performance, open-source message broker built on Java. It implements the JMS standard to provide reliable, asynchronous communication between distributed applications. Its core value is enabling decoupled, scalable architectures through robust message queuing and routing.
Key Features:
  • Full JMS 1.1 and 2.0 compliance
  • High-availability and clustering
  • Supports multiple cross-language clients
  • Advanced persistence and security
Use Cases:
  • Asynchronous background job processing
  • Decoupling microservices and legacy systems
  • Reliable event-driven architecture
Alternatives:
  • RabbitMQ – Uses AMQP protocol; often chosen for complex routing and ease of management
  • Kafka – Optimized for high-throughput streaming and log processing, not traditional JMS
