Examples of common use cases
Here are a few common use cases we hear about from the community or our customers. This should help you better understand what RabbitMQ is and how it can help.
- Decoupling services
- RPC
- Streaming
- IoT
Decoupling interconnected services
You have a backend service that needs to send notifications to end users. There are two notification channels: emails and push notifications for the mobile application.
The backend publishes the notification to two queues, one for each channel. Programs that manage emails and push notification subscribe to the queue they are interested in and handle notifications as soon as they arrive.
➡ Benefits
- RabbitMQ absorbs the load spike.
- You can do some maintenance on the notification managers without interrupting the whole service.

RabbitMQ is the one message broker that HASN'T given me grief in my career.
I've been running RabbitMQ for >8 years in production, once even in a fleet of 180 buses where every bus had an instance of rabbitmq running locally. Never had a single issue in all those years.
