Glimpse of Yunqi｜Looking back on the ten years of open source, RocketMQ is reborn

Introduction to RocketMQ, as a messaging middleware born in 2011, has also witnessed the ten-year development of China's open source field. Become one of the most dazzling representative projects among Alibaba's many open source projects. This not only means that RocketMQ is the first domestic Internet middleware to enter the Apache top-level project, but also that RocketMQ plays a huge role in the Internet of Things, big data and other fields, benefiting millions of enterprises and developers. , To promote the development of social economy and Internet technology.

Open source is breaking the traditional organizational structure and business model by means of Openness, Sharing, Peering, Collaboration, and Acting Globally. The operation logic of the industrial economy era is gradually being gradually changed. Subversion and reconstruction have profoundly affected the thinking mode of practitioners, corporate business behavior, and organizational governance.

Focusing on China's open source field, it has ushered in rapid development in the past decade. According to the "China's Ten Years of Open Source Insights Report" released by the Yunqi Conference yesterday, both the number of open source warehouses, the number of active developers, the overall activity, and the participation of developers have ushered in a significant increase. The automation level of open source software production lines has been greatly improved, and after 2019, automated collaboration will show a rapid growth trend. Several open source KOLs continue to be highly active in open source projects.

RocketMQ, as a messaging middleware born in 2011, has also witnessed the ten-year development of China's open source field. Become one of the most dazzling representative projects among Alibaba's many open source projects. This not only means that RocketMQ is the first domestic Internet middleware to enter the Apache top-level project, but also that RocketMQ plays a huge role in the Internet of Things, big data and other fields, benefiting millions of enterprises and developers. , To promote the development of social economy and Internet technology.

For ten years, RocketMQ has always adhered to the development concept of open source, commercial and internal trinity, and the kernel evolution and function iteration are coordinated simultaneously. Supporting transactions and other core links within the group to perfectly survive the peaks of traffic on Double Eleven, setting a record of more than 2 trillion message flows; in business, RocketMQ has served tens of thousands of companies in multiple industries such as the Internet, finance, government and enterprises Customers: In open source, the community has always maintained a high degree of participation, with a large-scale active domestic exchange group, and ISSUE has included a large number of high-quality topic exchanges and problem precipitation from around the world.

After the release of version 4.0 in 2017, 5 years later, RocketMQ ushered in version 5.0, marking RocketMQ officially moving from a single message scenario to a broader integration scenario of events, messages, and streams. As a major update five years after the release of version 4.0 in 2017, version 5.0 has reshaped the architecture on a large scale, adding and modifying more than 60% of the code, and achieving seamless compatibility with all functions of version 4.0 and the overall architecture , And did not introduce any external dependencies.

The new RocketMQ 5.0 version adheres to the diversified scenarios and extremely flexible service capabilities, and provides a separable, co-storage, and separate architecture for multiple scenarios; in the newly laid out Streaming and Eventing fields, RocketMQ fully develops upstream and downstream integration capabilities and adopts development compatibility The idea of adapting to the existing open source ecosystem. For example, with Flink integration, RocketMQ directly implements Flink's basic functions and operators, and is the first to be compatible with Flink/Blink SQL standards and UDF/UDAF/UDTF.

Alibaba has continued to derive nourishment from open source and continue to contribute to open source along the way. Open source is like a link, allowing Ali's technology to communicate with and evolve with global technology. On October 22, at the Yunqi Conference-Internet Architecture Sub-forum, Alibaba Cloud will release the new RocketMQ version 5.0, which will bring the new architecture practice of separating storage and computing and the benchmarking functions of event, message, and stream integration, so that more companies can gain access to Alibaba. Baba’s equivalent technical capabilities, so stay tuned!
