I am just getting started with RabbitMQ, because on a website I am working on we want to de-couple some of the resource intensive tasks such as sending emails, generating PDF's etc.
I have started by following the very simple C# "Hello world" tutorial on the RabbitMQ website (https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-dotnet.html). This was useful to get a very brief understanding of how RabbitMQ hangs together, but it has left me with a number of questions that genuinely and surprisingly I can't find answers to online....
- The "Hello world" example sends a basic string. In my example of sending emails, would my Publisher send all the data needed to send the email i.e. recipient, subject etc, perhaps in JSon format?
- How typically would you structure a consumer to execute a method to DoSomething? Ideally, I would like it to be fluent so that if a message is of a particular type the Consumer executes method SendEmail(), or if the message is of a different type it executes the method GeneratePDF() and so on....
- I have a Publisher and a Consumer, however I have a number of different tasks that I want the Consumer to process i.e. send emails or generate PDFS. Should i have multiple consumers i.e. one for each type of task, or, multiple queue's (again one for each task)?
These are some of the basic questions I have that currently are preventing me from seeing how RabbitMQ is used in real-world scenario. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
