Bringing a Ferrari to a Horse Race: Going From Background Jobs to Event-Driven Microservices with RabbitMQ | Sophie DeBenedetto & Steven Nunez Software Engineers @Github ABSTRACT RabbitMQ is capable of handling millions of messages per second, running clustered for high availability setups, and has clients in every language around. So, how about we use it to process just a few background jobs? In this talk, learn about how introducing RabbitMQ for background jobs led us to an explosion of microservices and the creation of a messaging framework that changed and grew alongside our business. We'll share lessons learned from managing and scaling RabbitMQ as a background job orchestrator, tell you how RabbitMQ empowered us to move away from a legacy monolith and towards an event-driven, distributed system, and sell you on RabbitMQ (along with another citizen of the BEAM, Elixir) as the backbone for a robust, performant, scalable and maintainable event-driven system. • See & download slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_GD6ZAUcW0T0D0ihp6jtPpIdxAjtonto/view • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/rabbitmqsummit?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?
