"ActiveMQ Essentials"
ActiveMQ Essentials provides a thorough, practitioner-focused exploration of message-oriented middleware, designed for architects, engineers, and operators aiming to master robust messaging in modern distributed systems. Opening with foundational concepts, the book guides readers through the diverse world of messaging patterns, system design requirements, and real-world broker comparisons. It demystifies the Java Message Service (JMS) landscape, situates ActiveMQ among its peers, and establishes the conceptual groundwork necessary to understand messaging's critical role in enterprise environments.
Delving deep into ActiveMQ's architecture and implementation, the book meticulously unpacks broker internals, message models, network topologies, and advanced features such as persistence, clustering, and flow control. Practical configuration, tuning, and diagnostics chapters empower readers to deploy, scale, and maintain brokers for both performance and resilience. Security and compliance considerations are deftly covered, from authentication and encryption to fine-grained authorization and compliance auditing, ensuring that deployments can meet the strictest regulatory and operational standards.
Equipped with advanced guidance on high availability, automation, and integration patterns, ActiveMQ Essentials bridges theory and hands-on application. Readers learn to architect scalable, fault-tolerant systems; program robust clients in Java and other languages; and implement leading-edge patterns like event-driven microservices and IoT edge messaging. The work concludes with forward-looking insights on Artemis migration, next-generation protocols, and the evolving ecosystem, providing professionals and teams with the expertise and confidence to build and operate critical messaging infrastructure for today and tomorrow.
