RabbitMQ Tutorials

These tutorials cover the basics of creating messaging applications using RabbitMQ.

You need to have the RabbitMQ server installed to go through the tutorials, please see the installation guide or use the community Docker image.

Executable versions of these tutorials are open source, as is this website.

There are two groups of tutorials:

• RabbitMQ queues
• RabbitMQ streams

note

You can use these tutorials with any versions of RabbitMQ. That said, we recommend to familiarize yourself with the latest version! For the stream tutorials, you need to use RabbitMQ 3.9.0 or later.

Queue tutorials

This section covers the default RabbitMQ protocol, AMQP 0-9-1.

1. "Hello World!" The simplest thing that does something Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Objective-C Swift Spring AMQP	2. Work Queues Distributing tasks among workers (the competing consumers pattern) Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Objective-C Swift Spring AMQP	3. Publish/Subscribe Sending messages to many consumers at once Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Objective-C Swift Spring AMQP
4. Routing Receiving messages selectively Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Objective-C Swift Spring AMQP	5. Topics Receiving messages based on a pattern (topics) Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Objective-C Swift Spring AMQP	6. RPC Request/reply pattern example Python Java Ruby PHP C# JavaScript Go Elixir Spring AMQP
7. Publisher Confirms Reliable publishing with publisher confirms Java C# PHP

AMQP 0-9-1 Overview

Once you have been through the tutorials (or if you want to skip ahead), you may wish to read an Introduction to RabbitMQ Concepts and take a look at the Compatibility and Conformance page to find relevant resources to learn more about AMQP 1.0 and AMQP 0-9-1, the two core protocols implemented by RabbitMQ.

Stream tutorials

This section covers RabbitMQ streams.

1. "Hello World!" The simplest thing that does something Java C# Go Python Rust Node.js

2. Offset Tracking Keep track of message processing Java C# Go Python Rust Node.js

Stream Overview and Blog Posts

Once you have been through the tutorials (or if you want to skip ahead), you may wish to read the RabbitMQ stream documentation and browse our stream blog posts.

Getting Help

If you have any questions or comments regarding RabbitMQ, feel free to ask them on GitHub Discussion or RabbitMQ community Discord server.

Tutorials in Other Languages

The tutorials here use a number of popular technologies, however, there are ports available for many more languages and client libraries, for example:

• Rust using amqprs
• Rust using Lapin
• Clojure (using Langohr)
• Erlang (using RabbitMQ Erlang client)
• Haskell (using Network.AMQP)
• Perl (using Net::RabbitFoot)
• Perl (using Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ)
• Scala (using RabbitMQ Java client)

We also maintain a list of community-developed clients and developer tools for various protocols RabbitMQ supports.
