## What it is
aio-pika is an asynchronous Python client library for RabbitMQ built on top of aiormq, providing an object-oriented asyncio API for AMQP 0.9.1. It supports transparent auto-reconnects with full state recovery, publisher confirms, transactions, and complete type hints.

## Use cases
- consume messages from rabbitmq queues asynchronously in python
- publish messages to rabbitmq with publisher confirms
- build robust async workers that survive rabbitmq reconnects
- implement rpc over rabbitmq in asyncio applications
- declare queues and exchanges programmatically with python
- run rabbitmq transactions from async python code

## When to choose
- you need an asyncio-native RabbitMQ client for Python 3.11+
- you want automatic reconnection with recovery of queues, bindings, and consumers
- you need type-hinted, object-oriented AMQP APIs
- you need publisher confirms or transactions in async code

## When to avoid
- you need AMQP support outside Python or without asyncio
- you use Python older than 3.11 in recent versions
- you need a synchronous client or non-RabbitMQ brokers like Kafka

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: message-queue, rpc, http-client
- domain: backend, developer-tools, microservices
- platform: python, cross-platform
