Native AMQP 1.0

· 17 min read

We are pleased to announce that RabbitMQ 4.0 supports AMQP 1.0 as a core protocol, providing the following benefits:

  • Modernized RabbitMQ to natively support the latest AMQP standard
  • Support for more AMQP 1.0 features
  • Significantly better AMQP 1.0 performance and scalability compared to RabbitMQ 3.13
  • Greater interoperability with other AMQP 1.0 message brokers
  • AMQP 1.0 is enabled by default in RabbitMQ 4.0

Erlang/OTP 27 Is Currently Not Supported

· One min read

Erlang/OTP 27.0 was released on May 20th, 2024. While it contains a lot of exciting features and improvements, unfortunately RabbitMQ currently doesn't work well with this version. We are aware of significant performance regressions, as high as 30% lower message throughput in many common workloads.

We are investigating the root cause of this regression. Please do not use Erlang/OTP 27 with RabbitMQ at this time.

We will announce support for Erlang/OTP 27 when we are confident that it works well with RabbitMQ.

RabbitMQ 3.13 is the final minor release in the 3.x series. The next release will be 4.0!

New website for RabbitMQ 3.13.0

· 5 min read

We have been working for several weeks on a new website for RabbitMQ. We plan to release this significant upgrade shortly after RabbitMQ 3.13.0 is released! At this point, we would love you to visit the new website and tell us what you think :-)

In this blog post, I will go over the reasons we are doing this and what improvements it will bring to you.

RabbitMQ 3.12 Performance Improvements

· 13 min read

RabbitMQ 3.12 will be released soon with many new features and improvements. This blog post focuses on the the performance-related differences. The most important change is that the lazy mode for classic queues is now the standard behavior (more on this below). The new implementation should be even more memory efficient while proving higher throughput and lower latency than both lazy or non-lazy implementations did in earlier versions.

For even better performance, we highly recommend switching to classic queues version 2 (CQv2).
