Under those high loads I've seen every single MQ fall over like a house of cards. At lighter loads you can get the job done with other tools that scale but with a little bit more pain. Leaves me super skeptical about them on the whole.


We push on the order of ~a billion messages / day into one of our Kafka clusters without having too much scaling difficulty.


Indeed. We have completely replaced all queues with Kafka. In fact, I'm not sure what it would take for us to even try anything else at this point.
