| − | | |
| − | Marconi is a cloud messaging and notification service for developers building applications on top of OpenStack. The service features a web-friendly HTTP API, which developers can use to send messages between the various components of their SaaS and mobile applications, using a variety of communication patterns. Underlying the API is an efficient messaging engine designed with scalability and security in mind.

| − | | |
| − | At first glance, Marconi's RESTful API may seem a bit out of the ordinary. Message brokers typically rely on a custom binary protocol and often assume a reliable, 1st-party network between server and client. However, many of today's developers prefer an HTTP-based API. They value the simplicity and transparency of the protocol, its firewall-friendly nature, and its huge ecosystem of tools, load balancers and proxies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Marconi caters to developers looking for this type of experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Marconi's API provides a basic set of semantics that, when combined, afford a variety of messaging patterns, such as pub-sub, task distribution, and point-to-point. Messages can be consumed as feeds, queues, or a combination of the two. This can be a little confusing at first, since the API uses the term "queues" to represent a hybrid feeds-queues resource.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When interacting with the API, a client can choose to read a queue in a similar manner to an Atom feed, where any client can read any message, and is responsible for keeping track of its own marker (its position in the feed). This provides for messaging patterns such as pub-sub and point-to-point.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Alternatively, an application can implement task distribution by creating a pool of workers that simply claim messages off the front of the queue. Once a message is claimed, it becomes invisible to other workers in the pool to prevent messages from being processed more than once.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Finally, a client can use both feed and claim semantics simultaneously to create hybrid messaging patterns. For example, while workers are busy claiming messages from a task queue, an auditor can passively sample those same messages as they flow by.
