RabbitMQ

Strictly speaking, AMQP (and 0.9.1 version used) is a protocol, not a full-fledged driver, so you can use any servers that support this protocol (on your own, only rabbitmq was tested), such as:

However, it is recommended to use RabbitMQ as the main implementation, and reliable performance with other implementations is not guaranteed.

To install and configure the RabbitMQ, use the corresponding documentation pagearrow-up-right.

Every message pushed to the RabbitMQ server uses publisher confirms. A message is considered sent only after the server confirms it. This is a reliable way to ensure delivery to the server.

After that, you should configure the connection to the server in the amqp section. This configuration section contains exactly one addr key with a connection DSNarrow-up-right. The TLS configuration sits in the amqp.tls section and consists of the following options:

  • key: path to a key file.

  • cert: path to a certificate file.

  • root_ca: path to Root CAs used by the AMQP client to trust and verify the broker/server certificate during TLS dial.

  • client_auth_type: also known as mTLS. Possible values are: no_client_cert, request_client_cert, require_any_client_cert, verify_client_cert_if_given, require_and_verify_client_cert.

You should also configure rabbitMQ with TLS support: linkarrow-up-right.

.rr.yaml
amqp:
  addr: amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672

  # AMQPS TLS configuration
  #
  # This section is optional
  tls:
    # Path to the key file
    #
    # This option is required
    key: ""

    # Path to the certificate
    #
    # This option is required
    cert: ""

    # Path to Root CAs used by the AMQP client to trust and verify the broker/server certificate during TLS dial.
    #
    # This option is optional
    root_ca: ""

    # Client auth type (mTLS, peer verification).
    #
    # This option is optional. Default value: no_client_cert. Possible values: no_client_cert, request_client_cert, require_any_client_cert, verify_client_cert_if_given, require_and_verify_client_cert
    client_auth_type: no_client_cert

Upon establishing a connection to the server, you can create a new queue that utilizes this connection and encompasses the queue settings, including those specific to AMQP.

Configuration

Configuration options

Here is a detailed description of each of the amqp-specific options:

Priority

priority- job priority. A lower value corresponds to a higher priority. For instance, consider two pipelines: pipe1 with a priority of 1 and pipe10 with a priority of 10. Workers will only take jobs from pipe10 if all the jobs from pipe1 have been processed.

Prefetch

prefetch - rabbitMQ QoS prefetch. See also "prefetch-size"arrow-up-right. Note that if you use a large number of workers and a small prefetch number, some of the workers may not be loaded with messages (jobs) due to the blocking nature of the prefetch. This would result in poor RoadRunner performance and waste of resources.

Queue

queue - AMQP internal (inside the driver) queue name. Optional for producer-only pipelines, required for consumer lifecycle operations (run, resume, pause).

Exchange

exchange - rabbitMQ exchange name. Optional, default: amqp.default.

circle-info

See also AMQP modelarrow-up-right documentation section.

circle-info

Producer-only pipeline: queue can be empty, push works, but run, resume, and pause will fail without a queue.

Exchange type

exchange_type - rabbitMQ exchange type. May be one of direct, fanout, topic, headers.

Routing key

routing_key - queue's routing key. Required for push when exchange_type != fanout.

Exclusive

exclusive - applied to the queue, exclusive queues cannot be redeclared. If set to true, and you attempt to declare the same pipeline twice, it will result in an error.

Multiple ack

multiple_ack - this delivery, along with all prior unacknowledged deliveries on the same channel, will be acknowledged. This feature is beneficial for batch processing of deliveries and is applicable only for Ack, not for Nack.

Requeue on fail

requeue_on_fail - requeue on Nack (by RabbitMQ).

circle-info

Read more about Nack in RabbitMQ official docs: https://www.rabbitmq.com/confirms.html#consumer-nacks-requeue

Queue headers

queue_headers - used to pass arguments to the Queue create method, such as x-queue-mode: lazy

Durable

durable - create a durable queue.

Default: false

Delete queue on stop

delete_queue_on_stop - delete the queue when the pipeline is stopped.

Default: false

Redial timeout

redial_timeout - Redial timeout (in seconds). How long to try to reconnect to the AMQP server.

Exchange durable

exchange_durable - Durable exchange (rabbitmq optionarrow-up-right).

Default: false

Exchange auto delete

exchange_auto_delete - Auto-delete (exchange is deleted when last queue is unbound from it): linkarrow-up-right.

Default: false

Queue auto delete

queue_auto_delete - Auto-delete (queue that has had at least one consumer is deleted when last consumer unsubscribes): linkarrow-up-right.

Default: false

Consumer id

consumer_id - string that is unique and scoped for all consumers on this channel.
