zpetterd / feathers-rabbitmq Goto Github PK

Currently this works in a very specific way, which is what I needed but I could see it being quite useful to other people.

In the /bin folder is a example of how to use it at the moment.

The problem I was trying to solve is using FeathersJS in a microservices environment were there is possibly multiple instances of a service running. Currently using the SocketIO provider all instances of the service would receive the events and as such process them. The idea here is that a server sets up a number of topics and then each service has a number of queues that are used for subscription to the events. A service client is identified by its appName.

One other advantage of this is reliable messaging in that if the client isn't connected RabbitMQ can be configured such that the pending messages are available when the client rejoins.

Is there other use cases that would be useful to cover and make possible?
