When production reliability is on the line, your message broker can’t be the weak link. This session shows architects and admins how to stand up (or stabilize) ActiveMQ with confidence. We’ll cut through configuration sprawl and focus on the patterns that actually prevent message loss—mapping JMS fundamentals to durable behavior, choosing the right persistence strategy, and implementing high-availability and failover that works under real outages.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

  • Refresh the JMS/ActiveMQ basics that matter for durability (providers, producers/consumers, queues vs. topics—and where ActiveMQ fits).
  • Apply durability patterns: topic/queue retention, durable subscribers, and virtual topics for scalable distribution.
  • Select and operate persistence the right way: KahaDB structure/maintenance vs. JDBC, and when persistence is—or isn’t—needed.
  • Implement HA topologies with confidence: shared-store KahaDB master/slave, networks of brokers, and client failover semantics.
  • Spot and avoid the top misconfigurations that cause message loss (with a live failure simulation to prove it).

Walk away with a pragmatic checklist for first-time production rollouts and a clear blueprint for keeping your messaging tier resilient through upgrades, restarts, and real-world failures.
