I am looking for a message queue to realize a chat application.

The most important requirement is: when a subscriber specifies a filter criteria, all the messages need to be filtered on the server side.

Unfortunately I don't find definite answers to the question if all those MQs around are filtering on the client side or on the server side.

It seems to me that most of the MQs are either not supporting filter criteria at all, or they are filtering on the client side (Kafka, ZeroMQ).

Maybe you guys can lead me in the right direction?

If you're using a JMS topic subscription with a "selector" (what JMS calls a "filter") on ActiveMQ Artemis then the filtering is done on the server side.

KubeMQ is a compelling choice for building your chat application, particularly due to its robust server-side filtering capabilities, which align seamlessly with your core requirement. When subscribers specify filter criteria, KubeMQ handles this filtering on the server side, ensuring that only relevant messages are delivered to subscribers. This feature empowers you to efficiently manage message delivery based on specific criteria, enhancing the performance and responsiveness of your chat application.

KubeMQ's publish/subscribe messaging pattern, combined with its server-side filtering, facilitates the creation of real-time and dynamic chat experiences. By offloading the filtering logic to the server, KubeMQ minimizes the processing burden on clients, contributing to optimized performance and reduced network traffic.

Moreover, KubeMQ's support for scalability, high availability, message persistence, and other advanced features provides a robust foundation for developing a feature-rich and reliable chat application. With KubeMQ's user-friendly client libraries, integration becomes straightforward, and its comprehensive monitoring and management tools ensure seamless control over your messaging infrastructure.
