A system to manage communication / messages sent between applications and DoSomething.org members. The system is loosely coupled between producers:

• Drupal 7 website (primary producer)
• Other web applications

and consumers that issue requests to vendors (APIs) both internal (MB User API and MB Campaigns API). Mandrill and Mailchimp are external vendors for sending messages:

• Mandrill: https://mandrillapp.com
• Mailchimp: http://mailchimp.com/

RabbitMQ (http://www.rabbitmq.com) is used to manage the communication between the producer and consumer applications. RabbitMQ acts as a communication bus that uses the AMQP (http://amqp.org) protocall. AMQP is an open, general-purpose protocol for messaging.
