I just found out about IBM’s new messaging product called MQ Light. IBM has made available an “alpha release” for Windows and Linux.
https://www.ibmdw.net/messaging/mq-light/
IBM® MQ Light provides a messaging runtime that developers can install, configure, and use to write applications in just a few minutes. MQ Light aims to enable developers to quickly create scalable and responsive applications. In a typical example, you might have an application that accepts web requests. MQ Light can provide messaging that enables the web request handlers to offload work to worker processes using a queue, so they can return to handle the next request immediately.
The MQ Concepts and API is located at:
https://www.ibmdw.net/messaging/mq-light/mq-light-concepts-api/
I’m trying understand where MQ Light fits into IBM’s big picture. Is it an MQTT implementation or something based on AMQP. So, I’m guessing that we would need some sort of bridge to have communication between MQ Light and WebSphere MQ (that’s just a guess).
