Good fit for Teams who want a battle-tested AMQP broker with rich routing (topic/fanout/headers exchanges) beyond what SQS offers.
Weak at Operating clustered HA RabbitMQ is non-trivial; budget time for partition/quorum-queue learning.

Replaces these SaaS
- Amazon SQS · Message queue / async messaging
Run `docker run -d --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management`. Client migration: replace SQS SDK calls (`SendMessage`, `ReceiveMessage`) with AMQP library calls (Pika in Python, amqplib in Node). FIFO semantics map to RabbitMQ single-active-consumer queues; DLQ via the dead-letter-exchange feature. Visibility-timeout maps to RabbitMQ ack semantics + per-message TTL.
