Redis MQ Overview

Redis MQ (RDMQ) is a Redis-backed message queuing and monitoring framework that leverages Redis’s in-memory data store to facilitate fast, reliable, and lightweight message passing between distributed components or services. It leverages Redis data structures like Lists, Streams, and Pub/Sub channels to implement queues, event buses, and task distribution systems.

The key metrics are organized into the following tabs on the MQ monitoring page

• Overview
• Performance
• Connection

As RedisMQ is often used in latency-sensitive, asynchronous, or decoupled architectures (e.g., background job processing, microservice communication, real-time event systems), visibility into its behavior is critical for detecting bottlenecks, dropped messages, or system overloads.
