Benchmarking Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and RabbitMQ: Which is the Fastest?

confluent.io

The original title of the article is "Benchmarking Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and RabbitMQ: Which is the Fastest?"

As for messaging systems, there is no mention of NATS[0] or NATS Streaming. For a system with durability similar to Kafka, LiftBridge[1] utilizes NATS and would be another alternative to look into.

[1]: https://liftbridge.io/docs/overview.html

The article actually makes the following claim “We found that Kafka delivers the best throughput while providing the lowest end-to-end latencies up to the p99.9th percentile. At lower throughputs, RabbitMQ delivers messages at very low latencies.” And the url is ending with “kafka-fastest-messaging-system”

However, to avoid confusion I will edit the title to match the original title.
