About RSMQ

RSMQ

RSMQ stands for Redis Simple Message Queue and is a message queue based upon Redis and Node.js.

RSMQ is lightning fast, rock solid and offers the standard features of a simple message queue but requires a lot less resources. Also no additional managing server is needed next to the Redis server. It is optionally possible to access RSMQ via REST.

Why not SQS, RabbitMQ...?

RSMQ comes with simplicity in mind:

  • no managing server - just Redis
  • no security - for usage in trusted environments only
  • lightning fast
  • provides an additional REST interface

While other systems may have their advantages in terms of features, RSMQ really shines through its simplicity and the ability to fit in almost anywhere due to its small footprint.
