March Hare, a JRuby RabbitMQ Client

March Hare is an idiomatic, fast and well-maintained (J)Ruby DSL on top of the RabbitMQ Java client. It strives to combine strong parts of the Java client with over 4 years of experience using and developing Ruby amqp gem and Bunny.

Why March Hare

  • Concurrency support on the JVM is excellent, with many tools & approaches available. Lets make use of it.
  • RabbitMQ Java client is rock solid and supports every RabbitMQ feature. Very nice.
  • It is screaming fast thanks to all the heavy duty being done in the pretty efficient & lightweight Java code.
  • It uses synchronous APIs where it makes sense and asynchronous APIs where it makes sense. Some other Ruby RabbitMQ clients only use one or the other.
  • amqp gem has certain amount of baggage it cannot drop because of backwards compatibility concerns. March Hare is a clean room design, much more open to radical new ideas.

What March Hare is not

March Hare is not

  • A replacement for the RabbitMQ Java client
  • A replacement for Bunny, the most popular Ruby RabbitMQ client
  • A long running "work queue" service

Project Maturity

March Hare has been around since 2011 and can be considered a mature library.

It is based on the RabbitMQ Java client, which is officially supported by the RabbitMQ team at VMware.

Testing

You'll need a running RabbitMQ instance with all defaults and management plugin enabled on your local machine to run the specs.

To boot one via docker you can use:

docker run -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management

And then you can run the specs using rspec:

bundle exec rspec
