Understanding Solace Endpoints: Message Queue Access Types for Consumers

The concept of message queues is fundamental in message-oriented middleware (MOM) and a constant topic of discussion for Solace users. Generally speaking, a queue is defined as a storage area where a message is stored until it is consumed by an application, or it expires. A queue provides the guarantee that the message will never be lost even if the consuming application is unavailable or if the message broker crashes. 

Solace endpoints are objects created on the event broker to persist messages. There are two types of endpoints: a queue endpoint (usually just called a queue) and a topic endpoint. I detailed the differences here if you want to learn more, and in this post, I’ll explain the two consumer patterns you have to choose from, how they differ, and when you should use each.
