I'm not down-modding you, but I am using AMQP in production on http://tweeteorites.com/ http://tweeteorites.com/ with RabbitMQ. I need persistence and flow control, as my consumers are unreliable and production rate is highly variable. This will become even more important as some of the new Twitter data streams come online. It took me about 2 days to completely reengineer my backend around RabbitMQ and a custom daemon to serve stream requests. Granted, I already had RabbitMQ set up and routing background tasks for celery ( http://celeryproject.org/ http://celeryproject.org/ ), but it's still pretty trivial to set up and get running. The easy case, which I'm at now, is pretty easy, and I've got a good path to scalability with fan out exchanges. That said, faster is better, and I'd be interested in zeromq if they had some of the features I need.
