RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ both offer high performance, but Kafka generally outperforms them in terms of throughput, particularly in scenarios with high data volume.

๐Ÿ”น๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†: RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ support message prioritization, allowing messages with higher priority to be processed before those with lower priority. Kafka does not have built-in message priority support.

๐Ÿ”น๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ข๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ guarantee message ordering within a single queue or topic, respectively. Kafka ensures message ordering within a partition but not across partitions within a topic.

๐Ÿ”น๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—น: RabbitMQ uses a queue-based message model following the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), while Kafka utilizes a distributed log-based model. ActiveMQ is built on the Java Message Service (JMS) standard and also uses a queue-based message model.

๐Ÿ”น๐——๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†: All three message brokers support durable messaging, ensuring that messages are not lost in case of failures. However, the mechanisms for achieving durability differ among the three, with RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ offering configurable durability options and Kafka providing built-in durability through log replication.

๐Ÿ”น๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: RabbitMQ supports replication through Mirrored Queues, while Kafka features built-in partition replication. ActiveMQ uses a Primary-Replica replication mechanism.

๐Ÿ”น๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: Kafka provides native stream processing capabilities through Kafka Streams, similarly RabbitMQ offers stream processing too, while ActiveMQ relies on third-party libraries for stream processing.

๐Ÿ”นKafka: Kafka supports message prioritization using partitions. By default, Kafka distributes messages evenly across all partitions, but you can also use custom partitioning strategies to prioritize certain messages over others. Additionally, Kafka allows you to set different priorities for each partition, which can be used to prioritize messages for certain consumers or processing pipelines.
