Example for using RabbitMQ with Golang

This repository contains the example code for publishing and reading a message to and from an RabbitMQ message queue. I have also written a blog for the same, feel free to check it out. This repository also contains Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml files for deploying these services using Docker.

Run locally

Producer

Follow these steps to run the producer service locally,

• At the repository root, execute the following command to open the producer directory. cd .\producer\
• Get dependencies. go get .
• Set the environment variables - use the sample .env file provided in the repository.
• Execute the go run main.go command to start the service.

Consumer

Follow these steps to run the consumer service locally,

• At the repository root, execute the following command to open the consumer directory. cd .\consumer\
• Get dependencies. go get .
• Set the environment variables - use the sample .env file provided in the repository.
• Execute the go run main.go command to start the service.

RabbitMQ

• There is a docker-compose.yaml file in the repository.
• Uncomment the - "5000:5673" to expose the RabbitMQ instance outside docker.
• [Optionally] Comment out the producer and consumer service specs so that they are not deployed in the docker.

Running in Docker

• Running in Docker is very simple, the repo includes a docker-compose.yaml file.
• At the repository root, execute docker-compose up command to deploy the RabbitMQ instance, producer, and consumer services.
• The producer REST API will be available at http://localhost:5050/v1/publish/example if the default configuration is used.
