This book is dedicated to my son and best friend Indie; I love you.

I would like to thank my wife Rima for her love and support during the writing of this book. I thank my parents and the rest of my family and friends for their support, with a special thank you to my brother, Graham, for inspiring me. Hopefully, authoring this book will inspire the next generation of my family; Indie, Bradley, Ellie, Som, Sachi, and Ruthi to achieve even greater things.

Finally, I would like to thank the AMQP and RabbitMQ teams, Ryan Dahl, Theo Schlossnagle, and all of the node-amqp committers; Suraj Bist, Shreerang Deshpande, and Amit Ramadas at Packt Publishing for their support. A big thank you to our technical reviewer Chris Duncan for his input; my work colleagues of the past and present; Johnny Hall and everyone at Starcount, Carl Hörberg at CloudAMQP, Gavin Van Der Merwe, and Joe Mendonca at Disney, and Rob Taylor at ITV.
