Hosted message queue for Java-based app in AWS us-east?


I'm looking for a message queue as a service that ..

  • .. is hosted in AWS us-east
  • .. offers real PubSub (not polling!)
  • .. can be used in production
  • .. offers high availability
  • .. has a good client for Java

I only found CloudAMQP (still in beta), AppEngine Task Queue (not AWS), SQS (polling only), Redis To Go (no high availability? -twitter stream seems full of issues) and IronMQ (polling only).

What am I missing?


Solution

  • Looks like Iron.io have added pub/sub. Maybe it fits your needs now? Also, it appears to talk beanstalkd, so you're potentially free to migrate easily to a self hosted solution at some point in the future (should you feel that urge!).
