# Understanding the Default RabbitMQ Middleman and Trigger

SitecoreDXG ships with a minimalist middleman and trigger that use RabbitMQ. The trigger is configured as the default for the SitecoreDXG Generation Service and is compatible with the provided middleman.

The included middleman and trigger use RabbitMQ to queue architectures for generation. At a high-level, this works as follows:

1. The middleman retrieves the serialized architecture from the SitecoreUML Service for Sitecore and then adds the response to the desired message queue. By default, the `generation_queue__documentation`and `generation_queue__mdj`

   are supported for generating HTML documentation and a metadata-json file, respectively, but the names of the queues are customizeable via the SitecoreDXG Generation Service's settings.
2. The RabbitMQ trigger, which has a listener for each of the supported queues, detects that a new message was added and calls the appropriate generation logic of the SitecoreDXG Generation Service for the queue on the passed in architecture.

The following diagram shows the full workflow that describes the default SitecoreDXG ecosystem using RabbitMQ for indirect communication between the Middleman and Trigger:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sitecoreuml.gitbook.io/sitecoredxg/architecture/understanding-the-default-rabbitmq-middleman-and-trigger.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
