Understanding MediatR and


RabbitMQ: Key Differences and Use
Cases

2 min read · Jul 10, 2024

Message queues are essential for decoupling and distributing tasks across
microservices or different components of an application. They enable
asynchronous communication between services, which helps in scaling and
improving the reliability of the application. In .NET, popular message
queuing solutions include RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, and Kafka.

In this article, we will explore how to implement RabbitMQ in a .NET Core


application.

Setup

Install Required Packages

First, you need to install the necessary NuGet packages for RabbitMQ.

Configuration

Configure RabbitMQ in appsettings.json

Add the RabbitMQ configuration in your appsettings.json file.

1. Producer Service

Create a service that will send messages to the RabbitMQ queue.

2. Consumer Service

Create a service that will consume messages from the RabbitMQ queue.

3. Register Services in Startup.cs or Program.cs

Depending on whether you are using .NET 5 or earlier, or .NET 6 and later,
you will register services differently.

For .NET 5 and Earlier

Summary

In this example, we have set up RabbitMQ in a .NET Core application to


handle asynchronous message processing. We configured RabbitMQ,
created a producer service to send messages, and a consumer service to
receive and process messages. This approach helps in decoupling
components and scaling the application efficiently.

By following these steps, you can implement RabbitMQ in your .NET Core
applications to achieve efficient and reliable asynchronous communication.
