"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."

"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
