Sorry if this is answered in the documentation, but I need some more insight. We currently use RabbitMQ, and need a distributed system. I would like to build a distributed system with 3 or more distributed brokers, named NEWYORK, NEVADA and TEXAS. Looking to see if it is workable to send Q messages with routing keys like, NEWYORK.terminal.abc from NEVADA with the ability to send a reply back with a replyTo type option. Also, things like: NEVADA.jobQueue.fastpace from TEXAS. or TEXAS.queues.ect.

Then ability to send TOPIC type messages from NEWYORK.weather and other sites subscribe to NEWYORK.weather. ect.. ect..

Is this something that ActiveMQ/Artemis can do?

Yes, this sort of data transmission is done all the time with ActiveMQ.

Tip: Topics become confusing and complicated to configure once you go to a multi-broker architecture. Look into using Virtual Topics or Composite Destinations to get your data subscriptions lined up how you want, while maintaining pub-sub pattern.

Virtual Topic summary:

  1. Producers end to a topic
  2. Consumers read from specially named queue(s)
  3. Ability to have multiple subscribers, and separate local traffic with over-the-wan traffic into separate queues
  4. Support for consumer-provided server-side filtering using JMS standard selectors
