xParticularly with the rise in popularity of Kafka, more companies today are adopting message brokers. When Bronto began moving to a microservice architecture in 2013 we identified the need for a message broker to support the event driven and pub/sub patterns that were (and still are) core to our platform. After evaluating RabbitMQ and Kafka, we opted to build our own message broker which we named Spew. Today, Spew is a central part of Bronto's software platform and handles over a billion messages a day.
In this talk we'll discuss the lessons learned building and adopting a message broker, and provide some suggestions to those considering adopting a message broker themselves.
