Example AMQP Use Cases

• Want a real time feed of constantly updating information?  No problem.
• Want an encrypted assured transaction?  No problem.
• Want your message to be delivered when the destination comes online? No problem.
• Want to send an enormous message while still receiving status updates over the same network connection? No problem.
• Want that to work on all popular operating systems and languages?  No problem.

AMQP solves the technical part of connecting applications.  All that is left for your developers to do is to focus on high-value work of reacting to those information flows.

Architecture

AMQP version 1.0 provides the pieces necessary to enable messaging clients and servers to interoperate seamlessly, regardless of their technology.

It comprises an efficient wire protocol that separates the network transport from broker architectures and management.  AMQP version 1.0 supports various broker architectures that may be use to receive, queue, route, and deliver messages or be used peer-to-peer.

There are three major pieces specified in the scope of AMQP 1.0.  These define the networking protocol, arepresentation for message envelope data and the basic semantics of broker services.
