Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - RabbitMQ Exchange Types - Direct, Fanout, Topic, and He

The video tutorial explains the four types of exchanges in RabbitMQ: direct, topic, fan out, and header exchanges. Each exchange type has a specific routing algorithm that determines how messages are routed to queues. Direct exchange routes messages to a single queue using a routing key. Topic exchange routes messages based on their subject, suitable for publish-subscribe patterns. Fan out exchange broadcasts messages to multiple queues, ideal for global announcements. Header exchange uses message headers for routing, matching attributes between headers and queues.

What is the primary function of exchange types in RabbitMQ?

• To store messages temporarily

• To control the routing of messages to queues

• To encrypt messages for security

• To compress messages for faster transmission

How does a direct exchange determine the appropriate queue for a message?

• By the time of message creation

• By analyzing the message content

• By checking the message size

• By using a routing key

In a topic exchange, how are messages routed to queues?

• Using a random selection process

• By the sender's IP address

• According to the message's subject

• Based on the message's priority

What is a common use case for fanout exchange?

• Compressing messages for faster transmission

• Broadcasting messages to multiple queues

• Sending messages to a single queue

• Encrypting messages for security

How does a header exchange route messages?

• By the sender's IP address

• By matching attributes in the message header

• By the message's size

• By using a routing key
