Description:
Zaqar is a multi-tenant cloud messaging service written in Python as part of OpenStack project. The service features a fully RESTful API, which developers can use to send messages between various components of their SaaS and mobile applications, by using a variety of communication patterns.
Like other messaging services it's main goals are:- performance, availability, durability, fault-tolerance and scalability. Zaqar aims to ease the design of distributed systems and allow for asynchronous work distribution without creating yet another message broker.
This talk aims to give the audience as much information as possible about Zaqar's architecture, design, patterns, performance, issues it faced.
Apart from Zaqar audience will get an overview of OpenStack and how Zaqar is similar/different from Amazon SQS service. The talk will be more focused on working of messaging service.
Prerequisites:
Conceptual knowledge of SQS, SNS, RabbitMQ.
