In this analysis, I look at a few different aspects, including API characteristics, ease of deployment and maintenance, and performance qualities.The message queues have been categorized into two groups: brokerless and brokered. Brokerless message queues are peer-to-peer such that there is no middleman involved in the transmission of messages, while brokered queues have some sort of server in between endpoints. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [Fast Topic Matching – Brave New Geek](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4574fb37a660/) (bravenewgeek.com, December 30, 2016) ## Saved the same week - [MDwiki - Markdown based wiki done 100% on the client via javascript](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0a63c4a484f4/) (dynalon.github.io, September 6, 2014) - [IPv6 adoption starting to add up to real numbers: 0.6 percent - Ars Technica](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7dc1bd7f1b87/) (arstechnica.com, September 6, 2014) - [Pinboard.py](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b4b2d7d1e2ec/) (github.com, September 6, 2014) - [One Man's Year of Digital Detox - OutsideOnline.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c6421224f051/) (outsideonline.com, September 6, 2014) - [Data Mining Reveals How Social Coding Succeeds (And Fails) - MIT Technology Review](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/587db41b798d/) (technologyreview.com, September 6, 2014) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.bravenewgeek.com/dissecting-message-queues/
