So a few weeks ago I unfairly called RabbitMQ complex without clarifying why. When it comes down to it there’s nothing hard about getting up and running with RabbitMQ especially these days with the Stomp and HTTP adapters out there. However the one sore point that a lot of Ruby people have when I recommend this fine messaging machine to them is that there isn’t much documentation on getting up and running with Ruby. Well, there’s nothing more pathetic than a man who grumbles but doesn’t do anything about it and so as promised I made a screencast. It’s actually based of the excellent RabbitMQ and Stomp tutorial that can be found on Lshifts great blog. Of course I altered it to have a bit of a Ruby twist with a really simple Rack/Merb version of hello world.
Well I’m still nursing a hangover this morning after a few too many fine beers and champagne that was to be had at Pizzaonrails last night. It was good to see everyone last night…

Hi Jonathan, Very nice and useful article. Do you know if the ruby Stomp gem supports making connections via SSL/TLS? Also, does the Rabbit Stomp Adapter support SSL/TLS? Regards, Carl

Hi Carl, I'm afraid the Ruby Stomp adapter doesn't support SSL/TLS:(. It shouldn't be too hard to implement though. At work I use an ssh tunnel to access RabbitMQ from the other servers in the cluster. Not a perfect solutions I admit but it works for me. Cheers Jonathan
