Message queues has become a part of most new solutions today.

There are 3 big players in the message queue server market:
- RabbitMQ
- ActiveMQ/ArtemisMQ
- Kafka

Note 1: Kafka is not a traditional message queue server, but it is
a relevant alternative in some cases.

Note 2: various commercial offerings from IBM, Oracle, MS
etc. still exist but the open source ones dominate the
market.

But in many ways the choice of server is not so important
as standard protocols has been created to talk to to those
servers: AMQP, STOMP and MQTT.
