What's your opinion about the use of RabbitMQ as messages broker,if I think to do scalable an aplicacion using socket.io into my nodejs project, in comparison with redis wich will be i use??

In which othe scenarios could use Rabbit or there are other tool more powerfull.

what did you recommend me to make a building well scalable aplication in Nodejs.

I'm reading this article http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2013/01/31/scaling-real-time-apps-on-cloud-foundry-using-node-js-and-rabbitmq/

I need your Feedback.Thanks.

Before you start using RabbitMQ, you should try looking into using the nodeJS forking for processes. It has a built-in message queue that will help you see what you need to do.

The built-in messaging queue that's built into node even allows you to pass sockets and http connections, which is pretty great!

Here's the link to forking child processes in the documentation: NodeJS Documentation: Child Processes

And here's a relevant post from before. Prior StackOverflow Post

Try this before you start playing around with RabbitMQ. I tried doing that, and actually came across some difficulty with both implementation and scaling.

You might find that ZeroMQ meets your needs. It requires no separate broker entity. You will need build tools on your machine because the binding includes a C++ component.
