The PikaBus library is a wrapper around pika to make it easy to implement the messages, events and command pattern, as described in detail here:
- Secure messaging with amqp enabled by default, which includes:
- Durable and mirrored queues on all nodes.
- Persistent messages, meaning no messages are lost after a node restart.
- Delivery confirms with RabbitMq publisher confirms.
- Mandatory delivery turned on by default to guarantee at least once delivery.
- Object oriented API with short and easy-to-use interface.
- Fault-tolerant with auto-reconnect retry logic and state recovery.

# To defer a message means sending a message explicitly to one receiver with some delay before it is processed.

Clone PikaBus repo:
git clone https://github.com/hansehe/PikaBus.git
Start local RabbitMq instance with Docker:
docker run -d --name rabbit -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=amqp -e RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=amqp -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management
Open RabbitMq admin (user=amqp, password=amqp) at:
http://localhost:15672/
Then, run the example:
pip install PikaBus
python ./Examples/basic_example.py
Try restarting RabbitMq to notice how PikaBus tolerates downtime:
docker stop rabbit
docker start rabbit
Send or publish more messages to the running PikaBus consumer with:
python ./Examples/send_example.py
python ./Examples/publish_example.py
