Hutch vs Confluent: What are the differences?
Hutch: Inter-Service Communication with RabbitMQ. Hutch is a Ruby library for enabling asynchronous inter-service communication in a service-oriented architecture, using RabbitMQ; Confluent: We make a stream data platform to help companies harness their high volume real-time data streams. It is a data streaming platform based on Apache Kafka: a full-scale streaming platform, capable of not only publish-and-subscribe, but also the storage and processing of data within the stream.
Hutch belongs to "Message Queue" category of the tech stack, while Confluent can be primarily classified under "Stream Processing".
Some of the features offered by Hutch are:
- A simple way to define consumers (queues are automatically created and bound to the exchange with the appropriate binding keys)
- An executable and CLI for running consumers (akin to rake resque:work)
- Automatic setup of the central exchange
On the other hand, Confluent provides the following key features:
- Reliable
- High-performance stream data platform
- Manage and organize data from different sources.
