Docker RabbitMQ HA Cluster

⚠️ This project IS NOT swarm compatible, sorry... but PR welcome ⚠️

Read the documentation

A docker stack to create, test and benchmark a rabbitmq cluster in high availability configuration:

• HAProxy as a load balancer
• N nodes cluster
• Durable, Mirrored and Persistent Exchanges, Queues and Messages
• HA custom policies
• Parallel producers and consumers
• Node failures and network partition experiment

If you have questions, comments or suggestions please just create issues.

⚠️ Tested (works well) on Linux but bad performance on OSX (docker for MAC)

The architecture

• 3 RabbitMQ nodes but we can add a lot more.
• 3 docker networks to be able to simulate network partition.
• 1 HAProxy node to load balance request and to be "failure proof".
• 1 default network for the consumers and producers to connect with nodes through HAProxy.

The stack

A lot of great tools (thanks to all awesome authors)

• Make
• Docker and docker-compose
• Rabbitmq and Management Plugin (docker)
• HAProxy
• Shell scripts
• Symfony MicroFramework (producers and consumers in docker containers)
• swarrot / swarrot-bundle
• php-amqplib/rabbitmq-bundle
• odolbeau/rabbit-mq-admin-toolkit

Tests / Benchmark

With this stack you will be able to experiment:

• Load Balancing
• Node failure
• Network partition
• Messages persistency
• Message NO ACK and retries
