About:
NSQ is a realtime distributed messaging platform designed for scalability and fault tolerance. It handles message queuing and delivery without a central message broker, using a decentralized architecture. This makes it highly reliable for building complex, high-throughput data pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Decentralized architecture
  • Automatic discovery
  • High throughput
  • Flexible message delivery
Use Cases:
  • Real-time data ingestion
  • Microservices communication
  • Event streaming
  • Log aggregation
Alternatives:
  • RabbitMQ – Centralized broker vs NSQ's decentralized design
  • Apache Kafka – Heavier Java stack vs NSQ's lightweight Go implementation
