RabbitMQ is an open-source Message Broker software (sometimes called Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM)) that originally implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and has since been extended with a Plug In architecture to support Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Message Protocol (STOMP), OASIS: Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), and other Protocols.

Written in Erlang, the RabbitMQ Server is built on the Open Telecom Platform (OTP) framework for clustering and Failover. Client libraries to Interface with the broker are available for all major programming languages. The source code is released under the Mozilla Public License.
