A work in progress, zero dependency AMQP 0.9.1 message broker.
I got interested on how rabbitmq works, so I decided to write my own AMQP broker.
It's been a nice learning experience! I learned a bunch of new things like parsing packets from the transport layer and how to do connection multiplexing over a single TCP socket.
My goal is to follow the rabbitmq tutorials, and implement as much feature as possible so that all tutorials can be played on the broker.
I am using the python version of the tutorials, using the AMQP pika client.
You can find the tutorial scripts in the /examples folder.
You will need elixir installed on your machine.
Then, just start an iex session with the mix project:
λ iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.5] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1] [hipe] [dtrace]
Interactive Elixir (1.9.1) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
03:57:49.438 [info] Accepting connections on port 5672
iex(1)>
At this point, the broker is running and is accepting connections from AMQP clients on port 5672 (the default AMQP port)
