In this talk I will introduce attendees to the basics of messaging queues, their goals and applications from CFML. Messaging enables software applications to connect and scale. Thus, providing applications to connect to each other as components of a larger application, or to user devices and data. Messaging is asynchronous, and can decouple your software concerns with ease. However, messaging is much more than the traditional publish/subscribe patterns but also the ability to create work queues, routing and much more.

1. Down the RabittMQ Hole with
ColdFusion

3. AGENDA
• RPC Calls
• What is Messaging
• Implementations
• AMQP Protocol
• RabbitMQ
• Nice Demo

4. RPC STYLE CALLS

5. • Blocks Request Usage
• Even if you do them Asynchronous, messages only 1 receiver
• Sender always knows about receiver
• Receiver knows about sender
• How can we decouple knowledge?
• How can we apply messaging patterns to our apps?
PROBLEMS WITH RPC

6. Messaging (EMS)
Producer
Consumer Consumer Consumer
Messaging Bus
Can be
any system or
language
Can be
any system or
language
Doesn’t
care about
consumers
Asynchronous
Does not get a
response

7. • Producers don’t care about consumers -> Decouple
• Cross platforms-technologies-OS, you name it -> Flexibility
• Event Driven Programming -> Scalability
• Queueing for later delivery
• Asynchronous
• Load balancing
• Hulkyfied services
BENEFITS OF MESSAGING

8. Usages and Patterns

Publish/Subscribe Topics/Routing

9. Protocols
JMS AMQP STOMP

10. AMQP - www.amqp.org
• Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
• != JMS
• Standard binary protocol
• Exchanges
• Queuing
• Routing
• Reliable
• Secure
• Several Implementations
RabbitMQ
ActiveMQ
Qpid
StormMQ

11. • AMQP Messaging Broker
• www.rabbitmq.com
• Built on erlang like Couchbase NoSQL
• Extremely fast, reliable and secure
• Languages: c#, erlang, java, python, ruby, node, cfml
• Simple concept
• Accepts and forwards messages
• Its like a post box, post office and postman

12. HOW IT WORKS?
Producer
Message
(Body+Routing Key)
Exchange (Bindings via Routing Key)
Body = binary, json,
anything
stock.
prices
stock.
run
log.
error
cluster
Queues are bound to exchanges with patterns
Routing key =
Bindings
Queues

13. • Direct
• Routing key = queue name
• No mapping or extra fluff just a passthrough
• Similar to JMS
• Topic
• Binding pattern (routing key) is match against the queue name
• Not full regex
• Ex: log.*, log#
• Not like JMSTopics, forget JMS, this is not JMS
• Fanout + More
EXCHANGETYPES

14. LOAD BALANCING + ACK
Worker
Queue
Consumer

Messages are
round-robin
to each
consumer
Consumer
need to ack

15. PUB-SUB EXAMPLE

16. DEMOTIME
• Java Producer
• Java Consumer
• CFML Consumer
• NodeJS Consumer
• JavaScript + Stomp Consumer
• CFML Producer
