[erlang-questions] AMQP 1.0 Client

[Andrew.Kutta@REDACTED]

I was really hoping you wouldn't say that.  Though I somewhat knew the answer before asking.
This was planned as a PoC, but it seems that there is a significant time investment in order to make any progress which is somewhat out of the question.

Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Based on my experience with AMQP and Qpid, your requirements sound very scary. If you can get access to literally any other interface, including SOAP [sic], I'd look at that seriously before using AMQP. As good as Erlang is at supporting wire protocols, if that protocol is as complicated as AMQP (0.9 and beyond) it's really hard to build decent software.

After trying to escape from this requirement, if you're seriously trapped, I'd look for the most solid client and build an external port that your Erlang app can use.

Here's a primer:

http://erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_port.html

No one likes this model because who wants to serialize their messaging over stdio - it seems absurd. But a) it works very well, even if it's not as potentially fast, b) it's very stable - this junk cannot bring your Erlang VM down and c) you can do work in that port to minimize the payload going back and forth to the Erlang VM.

Linked in drivers like NIFs will expose your Erlang VM to the horrors of whatever AMQP client library you're using - and that can easily invalidate the advantages of Erlang. So if performance is really and truly that big a deal - and you know that based on some actual data - consider doing this work in C++ with the Qpid client code directly.
