Reliable queues have handled heavy microservice traffic and prevent data loss in daily operations
The best features CloudAMQP offers include its ability to handle load efficiently. Without it, if there is a lack of requests coming from multiple consumers, it stores the data in the queue, and the lag will clear after consumption from the consumer side, ensuring no messages drop from CloudAMQP. Additionally, it can run tasks in the background so that it does not block any user requests. CloudAMQP is able to handle the load, and if I want to scale, I can scale the RabbitMQ nodes without any downtime. CloudAMQP has impacted our organization positively because it can handle a huge amount of data. I can have multiple RabbitMQ queues inside CloudAMQP and, as per my plan, purchase multiple queues that offer different capabilities. For example, the Tough Tiger plan allows sending a maximum of ten million messages per month with simultaneous connections of one hundred connections per queue, ensuring no traffic loss. For heavy environments, I can opt for Big Bunny queues, where I can handle one lakh messages per second if there is a huge amount of traffic. Additionally, I have a dedicated RabbitMQ broker as per my requirement, and according to my needs in CloudAMQP, there are different queue plans which I can select accordingly.

Easy to use, stable, has a good interface, and the security is good
I don't know if it's because of experience, but for me, it was easy to install. It's just a matter of having an RPM, then click next, next, and next again. The difficult part comes in when you have to configure the security. That is the most difficult part, but it's not that difficult. It takes less than two hours to install. Two hours max, because I did one yesterday. I installed it on AWS and it was easy to install the software. It was less than an hour for the bare minimum installation. Setting up the security, took close to two hours.
