About this page

RabbitMQ is a single-topic module. This module covers RabbitMQ fundamentals — exchanges, queues, bindings, the AMQP model, durability, acknowledgements, dead-letter queues — organized as an elevation arc within the one topic from 'what is RabbitMQ' through to production reliability patterns.

Messaging & Event-Driven Architecture Interview Questions

Messaging and events is the asynchronous-systems interview surface. This module is an elevation arc: it opens with messaging fundamentals (queues vs topics, delivery semantics), then Kafka architecture (the partition, the broker, the consumer group — the centerpiece). Message guarantees (at-least-once, exactly-once) and Kafka patterns follow, then Spring Kafka (the code tier). Webhooks sit alongside as the HTTP-event model. The advanced tier covers event sourcing, CQRS, and stream processing. It closes with comparisons and scenario-based questions.
