Which message brokers have you worked with — RabbitMQ, Kafka?

In my practice, I have worked with two main message brokers — RabbitMQ and Kafka.

• RabbitMQ: used for implementing systems with guaranteed message delivery and complex routing. For example, in projects with microservice architecture, where asynchronous interaction between services with acknowledgment was required.

• Kafka: applied for processing large data streams and event analytics. I used Kafka to build logging and monitoring systems, where high throughput and message re-reading capabilities are important.

Both brokers integrate well with PHP through appropriate clients and allow building reliable and scalable message exchange systems.
