RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker from Team RabbitMQ (Broadcom), implemented in Erlang/OTP and one of the most widely deployed brokers for the AMQP 0-9-1 protocol, with STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket support via plugins. It routes messages between producers and consumers through exchanges, queues, and bindings, supporting work queues, publish/subscribe, routing, topics, and request/reply, with durable queues, publisher confirms, consumer acknowledgements, dead-lettering, TTLs, and quorum queues for replicated, fault-tolerant delivery. A bundled web management UI provides queue, exchange, connection, and user administration plus live metrics over an HTTP API. Broker state (virtual hosts, queues, users, and persistent messages) is stored on the local filesystem. This image runs a single node on Erlang/OTP 27. MPL-2.0 license - a self-hosted alternative to hosted queue services, with no per-message fees and no vendor lock-in.
