MSMQ vs RSMQ: What are the differences?
Developers describe MSMQ as "A technology for asynchronous messaging". This technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline. Applications send messages to queues and read messages from queues. On the other hand, RSMQ is detailed as "A lightweight message queue for Node.js that requires no dedicated queue server. Just a Redis server". tl;dr: If you run a Redis server and currently use Amazon SQS or a similar message queue you might as well use this fast little replacement. Using a shared Redis server multiple Node.js processes can send / receive messages.
MSMQ and RSMQ belong to "Message Queue" category of the tech stack.
