RabbitMQ scaling lessons and storage innovations at MQ Summit 2025 - Berlin, Nov 6th

[Anca Trusca]

Hello RabbitMQ community,

I wanted to share details about some excellent RabbitMQ-focused sessions coming up at MQ Summit 2025 in Berlin (November 6th) that I think this community would find valuable.

Key RabbitMQ Sessions

"Scaling a High-Throughput Metrics Pipeline with LavinMQ" - Magnus Landerblom (CloudAMQP) Magnus will be sharing how CloudAMQP scaled their metrics pipeline from 3,000 to over 15,000 servers, achieving 18,000+ messages per second throughput. He's covering:

• Specific AMQP patterns for maintaining data ordering during horizontal scaling
• Managing backpressure from slow downstream consumers
• Real production architecture decisions from a 5x scaling challenge
• Data integrity preservation at high throughput

"Breaking Storage Barriers: How RabbitMQ Streams Scale Beyond Local Disk" - Simon Unge This technical deep-dive explores tiered storage architecture for RabbitMQ streams:

• Understanding stream storage fundamentals (segment files, I/O operations)
• Implementing storage backends through file abstraction layers
• Preserving write performance while enabling transparent reads across tiers
• Scaling streaming workloads without disrupting live systems

"Replacing legacy message queueing solutions with RabbitMQ" - Brett Cameron Practical guidance on modernization initiatives:

• RabbitMQ viability for traditional integration problems
• Specific use-cases and migration strategies
• Solutions to common problems encountered during legacy replacements
• Cost and operational benefits of moving from proprietary systems

Related Sessions of Interest

"Multi-Tenant messaging systems" - Maximilian Schellhorn & Dirk Fröhner

• Isolation strategies: shared vs dedicated queue architectures
• Authentication/authorization frameworks
• Solving "noisy neighbor" problems in multi-tenant environments

"Message brokers and MCP" - Vignesh Selvam & Ken Liao

• Integration of RabbitMQ with AI agents via the Model Context Protocol
• Creating Agentic AI workflows with message brokers
• Security considerations for AI-broker integration

"Securing your messaging networks" - Rob Parker (IBM MQ Security Architect) While focused on IBM MQ, this session covers universal messaging security principles applicable to any broker, including RabbitMQ deployments.

These aren't vendor presentations but real practitioners sharing production experiences. The CloudAMQP scaling story in particular offers concrete AMQP patterns and architectural insights that are directly applicable to RabbitMQ deployments.

The storage scaling session addresses a common bottleneck many of us face, and the legacy migration talk provides practical guidance for teams considering RabbitMQ adoption in enterprise environments.
