I played with most message queues and I go with RabbitMQ in production.
Mostly because it has been very reliable for years in production at a previous company, and doesn’t require babysitting. Its recent versions also has new features that make it is a descent alternative to Kafka if you don’t need to scale to the moon.

Datadog too. i often wonder how come more companies dont pick cute mascots. gives a logo, makes everyone have warm fuzzies immediately, creates pun opportunities.
inb4 "oh but you wont be taken seriously" well... datadog.
