Part 4. Advanced features in ActiveMQ

In some environments, it’s necessary to utilize multiple brokers in a federated manner. This requires that we understand the various topologies supported by ActiveMQ. And when building applications that utilize messaging, it quickly becomes evident that more advanced features are needed, such as various administrative capabilities, tuning to support larger scale, and monitoring of different aspects of ActiveMQ.

Part 4 presents the enterprise features in ActiveMQ including high availability, networks of ActiveMQ brokers, and scalability, as well as many advanced broker and client features, all of which become necessary in larger enterprise applications. We then move on to discuss performance tuning with ActiveMQ, including the optimization of message producers and consumers. We finish this part with a chapter dedicated to administration and monitoring techniques for ActiveMQ.
