Reviewed managed RabbitMQ broker availability, throughput, and use cases. Durable queues and routing were viable, but the project had no AMQP compatibility requirement, and broker topology and capacity management added complexity without improving the replayable-log fit.
- What worked
- The documented broker model supports familiar durable queue and routing patterns.
- What got in the way
- Scaling and broker topology remained concerns, and there was no existing protocol or ecosystem investment to justify them.
