Apache RocketMQ vs WCF: What are the differences?

Developers describe Apache RocketMQ as "Open source distributed messaging and streaming data platform". Apache RocketMQ is a distributed messaging and streaming platform with low latency, high performance and reliability, trillion-level capacity and flexible scalability. On the other hand, WCF is detailed as "A runtime and a set of APIs for building connected, service-oriented applications". It is a framework for building service-oriented applications. Using this, you can send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. A service endpoint can be part of a continuously available service hosted by IIS, or it can be a service hosted in an application.

Apache RocketMQ and WCF are primarily classified as "Message Queue" and "Realtime Backend / API" tools respectively.

Apache RocketMQ is an open source tool with 8.26K GitHub stars and 4.24K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Apache RocketMQ's open source repository on GitHub.
