Can we use MSMQ in .NET6

Question

In.NET 6 (C# 10), I'm creating a console/worker service. In order to store and retrieve messages, I intend to use Microsoft Message Queuing. Like when one service queues up a message and another service retrieves it from the queue. Recently, I read that MSMQ would no longer be supported in.net core. Is it real? any additional service we might utilize for the same purpose (other than Azure).

System.Messaging (MSMQ) is not supported in the .net ecosystem. You will have to use an alternative message broked such as:

• RabbitMQ - https://www.rabbitmq.com/
• Kafka - https://developer.confluent.io/get-started/dotnet/

If you're locked in to MSMQ, I think there are experimental MSMQ bridges out there for .net but they won't have official support.
