Azure Service Bus vs RabbitMQ for Enterprise applications












10














I need to decide between Azure Service Bus and RabbitMQ (Deployed on Azure) for an enterprise level application and my major use will be of topics (with durable storage).
I see that service bus has more features as compared to RabbitMQ like Retries Count, TTL, sessions & transactions etc. But I am not sure which one is best for High availability, scalability, storage and throughput.
Service bus has some limits on store size (max 5 GB for non-partitioned queue and 80 GB for partitioned queue) and throughput of 2000 msgs/sec/queue. What if I need more then these limits in case of service bus?



The limits of RabbitMQ is not clear as it depends on the cluster. If anyone can help me in deciding which one would be the best in my case?

    I found a blog talking about the cost comparison between Azure Service Bus and RabbitMQ on Azure VMs, you could refer to it here.

  • I have seen it @Bruce-MSFT . Cost is not a factor. I am confused about the performance and scalability of service bus.

  • Why don't you consider Amazon SQS which you can scale out? You can connect SQS to SNS and use as a topic for your case.

    I've been a long time RMQ user. I just started to use AMB and I'm not overly impressed with the performance. But in all fairness, I haven't given AMB enough time to compare. I found this article about AMB performance. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/…

    If your other infrastructures are heavily depends on Azure , I would like to recommend Azure SB. If you are planing( any probability) going out of Azure you may use RabbitMQ.

However your question was asked a long time ago, I see people still visiting. I found two useful sources:



(1) Here is a comprehensive (although old) article comparing Service Bus to RabbitMQ:



http://geekswithblogs.net/michaelstephenson/archive/2012/08/12/150399.aspx



A summary from the above-mentioned ():



enter image description here



(2) Looking at this answer also may help a bit:



https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/196770/sql-server-service-broker-vs-rabbitmq



I think he made a point based on his own experience here when he says:




  • Does the processing of the data after being de-queued happen in a
    database or an external process?
    (a) external process -> RMQ.
    (b) another database -> SSB. However, due to its idiosyncrasies, I might
    look at creating a pub-sub SQLCLR assembly instead. This assembly
    would read the data off the table(s) async, and send it to the other
    database for processing (we have done this as well where I work).


  • Do you need the duplex capabilities SSB gives you? Don't forget SSB
    is not quite intended to be a message broker but is built for duplex
    conversations, which potentially are long-lived.
    If you need the duplex capabilities, then SSB is (almost) a given.



Hope this helps.
