The Lightning Fast Message Queue
MQ provides a reliable way to communicate between services and components. Highly available, persistent by design, with best-effort one-time delivery, MQ is the most industrial strength, cloud-native solution for modern application architecture.
Faster than SQS and RabbitMQ. Also...
Supports a rich set of features including push and pull queues, long polling, error queues, alerts and triggers, and more.
MQ is a global service that runs on multiple clouds and availability zones. For advanced users with critical messaging needs, queues can automatically point to alternative zones in case of an outage without having to change any code.
Runs on top of cloud infrastructure and uses multiple high-availability data centers. MQ scales without the need for you to add and maintain resources yourself.
Uses HTTPS/Rest-based APIs for simple and efficient cloud use. Built with MQ standards in mind for maximum flexibility and configuration.
