CloudAMQP vs VerneMQ: 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 VerneMQ? VerneMQ is a distributed IoT/MQTT message broker. VerneMQ is a distributed MQTT message broker, implemented in Erlang/OTP It's open source, and Apache 2 licensed. VerneMQ implements the MQTT 3.1, 3.1.1 and 5.0 specifications..
CloudAMQP and VerneMQ 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, VerneMQ provides the following key features:
- Open Source, Apache 2 licensed
- QoS 0, QoS 1, QoS 2
- MQTT v5.0 fully implemented
VerneMQ is an open source tool with 1.76K GitHub stars and 189 GitHub forks. Here's a link to VerneMQ'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!
