Alibaba Cloud Message Queuing RocketMQ and Kafka won the "advanced level" certification in the financial-level product stability evaluation

Recently, the Chaos Engineering Technology Salon-Financial Industry Premium Special Session jointly organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and the Chaos Engineering Laboratory was successfully held, and the results of the stability evaluation of financial products were released. Among the winners of the distributed system stability evaluation system, Alibaba Cloud Distributed Message Queuing Service has passed the first batch of message queue service stability certifications and won the highest level of "advanced level" certification. According to the chaos test report, the RocketMQ and Kafka versions of Alibaba Cloud's distributed message queue service have passed the single fault injection test (server downtime, service discovery failure, service suspension, network failure, high CPU load, high memory load) and comprehensive failures With multiple tests such as injection, the service SLA has reached the advanced level capability requirements for the stability of the trusted cloud message queue service.

This certification affirmed the product capabilities and technical strength of Alibaba Cloud Distributed Message Queuing Service in terms of data security and system stability. The Chaos Engineering Evaluation of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology has promoted the improvement of the reliability of messaging products and has made great contributions to the development of the messaging field. At the same time, I am grateful to the Academy of Information and Communications for its recognition of the Alibaba Cloud message queue RocketMQ version and the Kafka version.

RocketMQ, as a mainstream distributed messaging middleware, was open sourced in 2012 and officially became the top Apache project in 2017. On February 20, 2017, RocketMQ officially released version 4.0.

RocketMQ is based on the online transaction link from the beginning of its design, and is used in the asynchronous processing of large-scale online systems, including: e-commerce logistics transaction systems, online education curriculum systems, large-scale game signaling systems, bank transaction systems, etc. Different industry scenarios. Companies in all walks of life use RocketMQ to asynchronously decouple and cut peaks and fill valleys; at the same time, in non-online business scenarios, many Internet of Vehicles and e-commerce companies implement IoT edge data and C-end user behavior data collection, transmission and integration based on RocketMQ.

This year, we finally waited for version 5.0. With the advent of the cloud-native era and the rise of real-time computing, RocketMQ 5.0, which was born in the cloud and longer than the cloud, came into being. It has been upgraded to a cloud-native message, event, and stream integrated processing platform to help users more easily build the next generation of event-driven And stream processing applications. RocketMQ 5.0 focuses on the cloud-native evolution of messaging infrastructure, focusing on post-processing scenarios in the messaging field, supporting message streaming and light computing, helping users achieve nearby computing and analysis of messages, and fully embracing Serverless and EDA. The message queue RocketMQ version, as a low-latency, high-concurrency, high-availability, and highly reliable distributed messaging middleware built by Alibaba Cloud based on Apache RocketMQ, has the following features:

• Stability

Alibaba’s official designated messaging product for Double Eleven supports all messaging services of the Alibaba Group. After more than ten years of rigorous tests of high availability and high reliability, it is the core product of Alibaba’s transaction link, with service availability of 99.95% and reliable data. Sexuality is 99.99999999%.

• high performance

Over the years, the double 11 shopping carnival has a ten million-level TPS and a trillion-level data peak, creating the world's largest business message concurrency and circulation record (except log messages); supporting the accumulation of billions of messages under the premise of always ensuring high performance , Does not affect the normal service of the cluster.

• Rich message types

Provides a wealth of message types to meet the requirements of advanced features in various harsh scenarios. The currently supported message types include ordinary messages, sequential messages (global sequence/partition sequence), distributed transaction messages, and timed messages/delayed messages.

• Secure Access Control

With the granularity of the message subject and subscription group, strict access control is performed on the receiving and sending request of each message to ensure the security of the message; it fully supports functions such as Alibaba Cloud RAM main and sub-accounts, black and white lists, and STS, and supports TLS transmission encryption Agreement, Alibaba Cloud VPC access, etc.
