Terminal Tools for Message Queues
A message queue passes messages between services so a producer and a consumer never have to run at the same moment. Brokers such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS and Redis streams handle delivery, ordering and retention.
Terminal tools here browse topics and queues, publish test messages, replay or drain a backlog, follow consumer lag and read payloads without opening a web console. Backend developers, DevOps engineers and SREs use them while debugging a pipeline or checking a release.
Below is a list of terminal tools that work with message queues.
