RabbitMQ
Management
Installation, clustering, backup, monitoring, and failure recovery for production RabbitMQ — set up correctly the first time, and supported when something goes wrong.
Complete RabbitMQ Management
From first install to 2 AM failure recovery — everything a production RabbitMQ deployment needs.
Installation & Initial Setup
A correctly configured broker from day one — not a default install that gets patched up later.
- ✓ RabbitMQ installation (on-prem, cloud VM, or containerised)
- ✓ Erlang cookie & node naming configuration
- ✓ Plugin management (management UI, shovel, federation)
- ✓ Vhost design per team or application
- ✓ TLS certificate setup for encrypted connections
Management & Administration
Ongoing day-to-day administration so your team isn't learning RabbitMQ internals under pressure.
- ✓ Exchange, queue & binding configuration
- ✓ User accounts, permissions & vhost access control
- ✓ Policy management (TTL, max-length, overflow)
- ✓ Queue/exchange naming standards & documentation
- ✓ Version upgrade planning & execution
Clustering & High Availability
A cluster that keeps delivering messages when a node goes down — tested, not assumed.
- ✓ Multi-node cluster deployment
- ✓ Quorum queues for modern HA (RabbitMQ 3.8+)
- ✓ Classic mirrored queues where still required
- ✓ Network partition handling & pause_minority config
- ✓ Load balancer / client failover configuration
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Broker definitions and message data protected — not just the servers running RabbitMQ.
- ✓ Automated definitions export (users, vhosts, policies)
- ✓ Persistent message backup strategy
- ✓ Cross-region/cross-DC replication (federation/shovel)
- ✓ Documented cluster rebuild runbook
- ✓ Regular recovery drills against real backups
Monitoring & Alerting
Queue depth and node health visible before they become an outage, not after.
- ✓ RabbitMQ Prometheus plugin & Grafana dashboards
- ✓ Queue depth & consumer utilisation alerting
- ✓ Memory & disk alarm threshold tuning
- ✓ Connection/channel churn monitoring
- ✓ Dead-letter queue growth alerts
Debug & Failure Recovery
When something breaks at 2 AM, we know RabbitMQ well enough to fix it, not just restart it.
- ✓ Stuck/blocked queue diagnosis
- ✓ Split-brain & network partition recovery
- ✓ Memory/disk alarm root-cause investigation
- ✓ Dead-letter queue triage & message replay
- ✓ Post-incident runbook documentation
Set Up Right, Supported When It Breaks
Most RabbitMQ problems trace back to defaults that were never revisited. We configure deliberately, then stay reachable when something goes wrong.
Quorum Queues by Default
We deploy quorum queues rather than legacy classic mirrored queues wherever the RabbitMQ version supports it — better consistency guarantees during network partitions.
HA Tested, Not Assumed
We run controlled node-kill and network-partition tests as part of onboarding — the same discipline we apply to database and cluster failover elsewhere.
Queue Depth Is Our Early Warning
A growing queue depth almost always predicts trouble before it becomes an outage. We alert on trend, not just threshold.
Real RabbitMQ Expertise on Call
When something breaks, we diagnose the actual RabbitMQ-level cause — split-brain, memory alarms, dead-letter buildup — not just restart the service and hope.
Platforms & Tools We Work With
How We Onboard & Support
Assessment
Message volume, delivery guarantees, and existing setup (if any) reviewed against your actual requirements.
Install & Cluster
Broker deployed, clustered, and configured with quorum queues, vhosts, and policies matching your workload.
Test Failover
Node-kill and network-partition tests run before go-live to confirm HA actually holds.
Operate & Support
24×7 monitoring, backup verification, and on-call failure recovery — ongoing.
