Comparing Kafka and RabbitMQ
Kafka is pull-based and provides higher throughput. It is suitable for collecting and delivering large volumes of data, such as collecting and analyzing logs. RabbitMQ does not provide as high throughput as Kafka, but it offers more message queuing functions.
The following is a comparison analysis on the performance, data reliability, service availability, and functions of Kafka and RabbitMQ.
Performance
The performance of message-oriented middleware is measured by throughput. While RabbitMQ provides tens of thousands of QPS, Kafka provides millions.
However, if idempotency and transactions are enabled for Kafka, its performance will be compromised.
Data Reliability
Both Kafka and RabbitMQ provide the replication mechanism to ensure high data reliability.
Service Availability
Kafka runs in clusters and has partitions and replicas. Therefore, failure of a single broker does not affect services and the capacity of Kafka can be linearly scaled up.
Functions
Both Kafka and RabbitMQ are popular open-source message-oriented middleware. They differ mainly in the functions, which are listed in the following table.
Function |
Kafka 1.1.0/2.3.0 |
RabbitMQ 3.7.17 |
---|---|---|
Priority queue |
Not supported |
Supported. It is recommended that the priority be set to 0–10. |
Delayed queue |
Not supported |
Supported |
Dead letter queue |
Not supported |
Supported |
Retry |
Not supported |
Not supported |
Retrieval mode |
Pull-based |
Pull-based and push-based |
Message broadcasting |
Supported |
Supported |
Message tracking |
Supports offset and timestamp tracking. |
Not supported. Once a message retrieval has been acknowledged, RabbitMQ will be notified that the message can be deleted. |
Message accumulation |
Supports higher accumulation performance than RabbitMQ thanks to high throughput. |
Supported |
Persistence |
Supported |
Supported |
Message tracing |
Not supported |
Supported by the firehose feature or the rabbitmq_tracing plugin. However, rabbitmq_tracing reduces performance and should be used only for troubleshooting. |
Message filtering |
Supported |
Not supported, but can be encapsulated. |
Multi-tenancy |
Not supported |
Supported |
Multi-protocol |
Only Apache Kafka is supported. |
RabbitMQ is based on AMQP and supports MQTT and STOMP. |
Multi-language |
Kafka is written in Scala and Java and supports clients in multiple programming languages. |
RabbitMQ is written in Erlang and supports clients in multiple programming languages. |
Throttling |
Supports throttling on producer or consumer clients and users. |
Supports credit-based throttling on producers, a mechanism that triggers protection from within. |
Ordered message delivery |
Supports partition-level FIFO. |
Supports FIFO only for single-threaded message queuing without advanced features such as delayed queues or priority queues. |
Security |
Supports SSL and SASL authentication and read/write permissions control. |
Similar to Kafka. |
Idempotency |
Supports idempotency for a single producer session. |
Not supported |
Transaction messages |
Supported |
Supported |
The comparison is made between open-source Kafka and RabbitMQ.
DMS for Kafka and DMS for RabbitMQ maintain open-source compatibility while supporting or enhancing features in the open-source versions.
