Some messaging stuff

Just sharing some messaging tools I have been working with recently.

The first one is this performance test tool: msg-perf-tool. There's no secret here: you run the tool and it does its best to bring your messaging system to its knees (though this may not be the correct way how to test it ... check the testing tips on the Github page). For now it supports only AMQP, but Stomp and MQTT support is on the way. You can find rpms for RHEL/Centos (6 and 7) and Fedora (22, 23 and 24) for i686 and x86_64 on my Copr profile here.

The second one is a web page that can display the performance data stored on an ElasticSearch database and present it in a beautiful way. I call it messaging performance center. Here's how it looks like:

mpt-perf-ui

Some bits are still in progress, but it's functional.

Lastly, there's litestomp. A C implementation of the Simple (or Streaming) Text Oriented Messaging Protocol. It was built on top of what-seems-to-be the now defunct libstomp project. There's a couple of bugfixes, a simpler and higher level API for ease of use. Still a work in progress, but you can download the current rpms for RHEL/Centos (6 and 7) and Fedora (22, 23 and 24) for i686 and x86_64 from my Copr project page on this link.
