ApacheCon 2016

It has become increasingly clear in the last years that services are moving to the cloud (public, private or hybrid). Like DNS or authentication services, a robust, scalable multi-tenant messaging system is a crucial element of the cloud infrastructure. A messaging system allows services to talk to each other asynchronously, complementing the ubiquitos REST. Due to its dual framework/product nature, Apache ActiveMQ is the most viable and mature solution for messaging at scale. Coupled with other projects like Apache Karaf and its Cellar subproject featuring robust clustering capabilities, the ActiveMQ value is hard to beat. This presentation gives practical guidelines, code and a demo meant to help users deploy and manage elastic networks of brokers.
