Kafka and RabbitMQ for Event Streaming
Reading access
Free book
A developer-focused book about message brokers and event-driven systems. It compares Kafka and RabbitMQ, then explains producers, consumers, routing, topics, queues, retries, dead-letter handling, schema evolution, idempotency, and observability. Read each chapter with a small project in mind. The examples are intentionally practical: adapt them, test the failure cases, and keep notes about trade-offs.
