CloudAMQP vs Mosca: What are the differences?
What is CloudAMQP? RabbitMQ as a Service. Fully managed, highly available RabbitMQ servers and clusters, on all major compute platforms.
What is Mosca? A Node.js MQTT broker. A Node.js MQTT broker, which can be used as a Standalone Service or embedded in another Node.js application.
CloudAMQP and Mosca can be primarily classified as "Message Queue" tools.
Some of the features offered by CloudAMQP are:
- Support - 24/7 support, via email, chat and phone.
- Real time metrics and alarms - Get notified in advanced when your queues are growing faster than you're consuming them, when you're servers are over loaded etc. and take action before it becomes a problem.
- Auto-healing - Our monitoring systems automatically detects and fixes a lot of problems such as kernel bugs, auto-restarts, RabbitMQ/Erlang version upgrades etc.
On the other hand, Mosca provides the following key features:
- MQTT 3.1 and 3.1.1 compliant
- QoS 0 and QoS 1
- Various storage options for QoS 1 offline packets, and subscriptions
Mosca is an open source tool with 2.84K GitHub stars and 501 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mosca's open source repository on GitHub.
In addition to being a lot cheaper, Google Cloud Pub/Sub allowed us to not worry about maintaining any more infrastructure that needed.
We moved from a self-hosted RabbitMQ over to CloudAMQP and decided that since we use GCP anyway, why not try their managed PubSub?
It is one of the better decisions that we made, and we can just focus about building more important stuff!
Pros of CloudAMQP
- Some of the best customer support you'll ever find4
- Easy to provision3
