Introducing Managed RabbitMQ - build and scale with queues and message brokers

We’re very excited to release Managed RabbitMQ support on Northflank. RabbitMQ is the most widely deployed open-source message broker. A number of Northflank users requested a DBaaS experience via Addons and we’re pleased to say it’s live in production now after a month of early access.

Why deploy RabbitMQ on Northflank

• Your first cluster deployed in minutes starting at $10 per month
• Horizontal and vertical scaling with more resources and replicas
• Serverless like experience with automatic updates and no infrastructure management
• Provision and manage via UI, API and CLI
• Out of the box backups and restore
• Observability and monitoring with real-time logging and metrics
• Collaborate with a team and configure important RBAC rules
• Protocols (AMQP, MQTT, HTTP, STOMP, Streams)
• The most simple, secure and scalable way to deploy RabbitMQ clusters on Kubernetes and DBaaS
• Automatically connect workloads with secure RabbitMQ connection details & secrets
• Configure private and public networking dynamically and add optional network security settings

Examples of where RabbitMQ can be used:

• Application with many components which need to exchange information in a granular and highly controllable way
• Applications that need a granular control over consistency guarantees or have complex routing requirements
• IoT applications can make use of the lightweight pub-sub MQTT protocol, optimised for heterogeneous devices in the Internet of Things scenarios
