我能想到的唯一好处是事务性功能，其余的都可以用Kafka来完成

如果你有复杂的路由需求，想要一个内置的GUI来监控代理，那么RabbitMQ可能是最适合你的应用程序。否则，如果你正在寻找一个消息代理来处理高吞吐量并提供对流历史的访问，Kafka可能是更好的选择。

我知道这是一个老问题了，但是在处理数据编校时RabbitMQ可能是一个更好的选择。

在RabbitMQ中，默认情况下，一旦消息被消费，它就会被删除。在Kafka中，默认情况下，消息保存一周。通常将这个时间设置为更长的时间，甚至永远不删除它们。

虽然这两个产品都可以配置为保留(或不保留)消息，但如果CCPA或GDPR合规性是一个问题，我会选择RabbitMQ。

Kafka和RabbitMQ的5个主要区别:

应该选择哪个消息传递系统，还是应该更改现有的消息传递系统?​

以上问题没有唯一的答案。当您必须决定使用哪个消息传递系统或是否应该更改现有系统时，一种可能的检查方法是“评估范围和成本”

从技术上讲，与Rabbit MQ提供的特性集相比，Kafka提供了一个巨大的超特性集。

如果问题是

Rabbit MQ技术上比Kafka更好吗?

那么答案是

No.

但是，如果问题是

从业务角度看Rabbit MQ比Kafka好吗?

那么，答案是

在某些商业场景中，可能是“Yes”

从业务角度来看，Rabbit MQ可以比Kafka更好，原因如下:

Maintenance of legacy applications that depend on Rabbit MQ Staff training cost and steep learning curve required for implementing Kafka Infrastructure cost for Kafka is higher than that for Rabbit MQ. Troubleshooting problems in Kafka implementation is difficult when compared to that in Rabbit MQ implementation. A Rabbit MQ Developer can easily maintain and support applications that use Rabbit MQ. The same is not true with Kafka. Experience with just Kafka development is not sufficient to maintain and support applications that use Kafka. The support personnel require other skills like zoo-keeper, networking, disk storage too.

Scaling both is hard in a distributed fault tolerant way but I'd make a case that it's much harder at massive scale with RabbitMQ. It's not trivial to understand Shovel, Federation, Mirrored Msg Queues, ACK, Mem issues, Fault tollerance etc. Not to say you won't also have specific issues with Zookeeper etc on Kafka but there are less moving parts to manage. That said, you get a Polyglot exchange with RMQ which you don't with Kafka. If you want streaming, use Kafka. If you want simple IoT or similar high volume packet delivery, use Kafka. It's about smart consumers. If you want msg flexibility and higher reliability with higher costs and possibly some complexity, use RMQ.
