SonicMQ Development 8.1

SonicMQ Development by Progress Software Corporation is the developer-focused edition of the SonicMQ messaging platform, designed to help teams build, test, and debug message-driven and event-driven applications with confidence. Based on the Java Message Service (JMS) standard, it provides a local broker, client libraries, and utilities so developers can prototype and validate integration patterns before moving to production. It supports both point-to-point (queues) and publish/subscribe (topics), durable subscriptions, message persistence, and transactions—enabling reliable, asynchronous communication across services and systems while preserving compatibility with enterprise SonicMQ deployments.

Key capabilities:

• JMS-compliant APIs and examples to accelerate development
• Local broker for repeatable, isolated dev/test workflows
• Support for queues, topics, selectors, durable subscribers, and persistent delivery
• Transaction and acknowledgment options to improve reliability and ordering
• Basic administration and security configuration for destinations, users, and access control
• Smooth path from workstation prototypes to larger SonicMQ environments

Ideal for Java developers building integration, microservices, or event-driven architectures who need a robust, standards-based messaging backbone during development.
