The Corporate Social Network (CSN) is a social networking service that is being deployed in an enterprise and allows its users to upload content and interact with each other. In particular, the system allows the user to post blogs, upload files, subscribe to other user profiles (in order to track the activity of other users), and chat with other users. The social network uses RabbitMQ in order to process events that have been triggered by user activity, trigger long-running jobs (such as batch file uploading), and serve as a backbone for the delivery of chat messages from the chat feature of the social network. The following diagram provides a high-level overview of the components of the system:

We will design the system from the very beginning and then start expanding it. In the meantime, we will demonstrate the various capabilities of RabbitMQ by applying them to the extensions of the social network.
