RabbitMQ Training

• Knowledge on Core Java or any enterprise programming language

Who should attend

• Developers
• Architects
• Administrators

This intensive three day, instructor-led course in RabbitMQ provides a deep dive into how to install, configure, and develop applications which leverage RabbitMQ messaging. The course begins with RabbitMQ installation and general configuration. It continues with developing messaging applications using the Java APIs, and delves into more advanced topics including clustering, high availability, performance, and security. Modules are accompanied by lab exercises that provide hands-on experience.

At the end of the course, you should be able to do the following:

• Install and configure RabbitMQ
• Activate and use plugins such as the web management console
• Implement messaging patterns and applications using the Java client
• Set up a cluster of RabbitMQ nodes
• Configure high availability appropriately
• Tune and optimize RabbitMQ for better performance
• Secure RabbitMQ
