RabbitMQ in Depth

Very nice and detailed overview of RabbitMQ functionality. I specifically want to mention that the book covers a lot of ground - from low-level details of specification to the high-level typical use-cases and, in addition to that, contains well laid-out examples using Jupyter notebooks and Vagrant-based virtual machines, so it provides a lot of practical experience in addition to the theory.

Truly worthy of its name, RabbitMQ in Depth covers basically everything you'll ever need to know about RabbitMQ whether you're developing message publishers and consumers, tuning message throughput through clustering, integrating directly with databases or developing that hot new RabbitMQ plug-in. Aside from covering a wide variety of topics, the parts that I as a developer found most useful and insightful were chapters 3 through 6 which deal with publishing and consuming of messages - packed with easy-to-follow examples written in Python, the chapters also feature various messaging patterns and best practices and also give careful consideration to performance impacts that each of the approaches incurs.
