Event streaming with consumer groups, partitions, and SASL/TLS

NATS Core/JetStream

nats://, natss://, jetstream://

Cloud-native messaging with clustering and persistence

AWS SQS

Quick Start

Go
package main

import ( “context” “log” “gitlab.com/digitalxero/mqutils” “gitlab.com/digitalxero/mqutils/types” )

func main() { // Works with any supported message queue system consumer, err := mqutils.NewConsumer(“amqp://localhost:5672/myqueue”) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer consumer.Close()

// Register a message handler
consumer.RegisterHandler("process", func(msg types.Message) error {
    log.Printf("Received: %s", string(msg.Body()))
    return nil
})

// Start consuming messages
ctx := context.Background()
if err := consumer.Run(ctx); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

}

That’s it! The same code works with Kafka, NATS, SQS, Pub/Sub, and Redis by simply changing the URL scheme.

Trusted by Production Teams

"mqutils saved us months of development time. We went from managing 4 different message queue SDKs to one unified interface. The health monitoring alone is worth the switch."

Sarah Chen

Senior Backend Engineer, TechCorp

"The graceful shutdown and error handling in mqutils is production-grade. We've had zero message queue related incidents since switching from individual SDKs."

Marcus Rodriguez

Platform Lead, FinanceFlow

"Batch processing with configurable timeouts changed our throughput game. We're processing 10x more messages with the same infrastructure."
