What message brokers have you worked with?

In my work, I had to use several message brokers:

• Apache Kafka — for processing large streams of events with high throughput and delivery guarantees. Used for logging and transmitting events between microservices.
• RabbitMQ — for queue and message routing tasks, where reliability and routing flexibility are important.
• ActiveMQ — in projects integrating legacy systems, where JMS support was required.

Each broker was chosen based on performance, reliability, and system architecture requirements. For example, Kafka is well-suited for analytics and streaming data, while RabbitMQ is suitable for distributed tasks and asynchronous processing.
