AMQP-1-0

OASIS enterprise binary messaging protocol.

Definition

AMQP 1.0 architecture: Container (sender or receiver application), Connection (TCP+TLS), Session (multiplexing), Link (unidirectional message flow), Source/Target Terminus. Differences vs AMQP 0.9.1: pure wire-level protocol (no broker semantics), flexible link/terminus model, no embedded queue/exchange concept. Adoption: Azure Service Bus (native protocol), Apache Qpid, RabbitMQ AMQP 1.0 plugin. Difference vs MQTT: enterprise patterns (transactions, sender-settled delivery, message-streaming).

Origin

AMQP 0.9.1 published 2008 by JPMorgan Chase ; AMQP 1.0 published OASIS Standard 31 October 2012 ; ISO/IEC 19464 published 2014.

Example in context

A bank uses AMQP 1.0 via Azure Service Bus to exchange trading orders between 5 microservices with guaranteed transactional message delivery.
