Enterprise Queuing:
Enterprise Queuing is a technology stack used for making secured and reliable communication across distributed systems. Most Modern-day queues like Azure Service Bus, Amazon Simple Queue Service, Google Pub/sub, JMS, etc. offers persistent, highly available, scalable, and reliable communication network to cope with the rise in demand for IoT and microservices.
Atom Queue vs Enterprise Queue:

Boomi Atom Queue |
Enterprise Queues |
| Message Scope | Atom Queue is useful for Boomi integrations that run within the same atom | Enterprise-level scope and it can be accessed from any applications with JMS connectivity |
| Supported Queue Types | -> Point-to-Point -> Publish / Subscribe |
-> Point-to-Point -> Publish / Subscribe |
| Supported Queue Operations | Atom Queue connector supports below Read Operations It also supports Send operation. |
Operations vary based on the enterprise queue connector. Most enterprise Queue connectors support below operations |
| Visibility | Atom Queue can be used within the integrations that run on the Atom where the Queue is configured | Most Enterprise Queues are flexible and can be used by any system internally and externally with proper authentication |
| API Access | Atom Queue cannot be accessed directly through an API. The queue must be read and exposed via an API process. | Most Enterprise Queue supports Read and Write capabilities via an API with proper credentials. |
| Message Span | Messages posted to the queue get deleted
· When it is consumed by the target system · When manually deleted from the Queue Management option under Atom Management. · When Atom crashes. |
Messages posted to the queue get deleted
· When it is consumed by the target system. Queues like ASB offer the flexibility to just consume the messages and hold the messages in the queue until the whole process is done. · Programmatically by using the delete operation on the queue · Using API capability with authentication. · Manually from Queue Console. |
| Size and Restrictions | Atom Queue writes messages to the local disk where Atom is installed. The scope is within the Atom boundaries and goes down when an Atom is down. | Most enterprise queues can have dedicated servers to handle a high volume, backup/recovery, and load balancing. |
