Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the main benefit of RabbitMQ Cluster over single-node?
A1. Cluster provides built-in high availability across availability zones, eliminating a single point of failure.
Q2. Does RabbitMQ Cluster increase throughput?
A2. No. Each queue still has one leader process. To boost throughput, shard workloads or increase instance size.
Q3. Can I disable mirroring on AWS Managed RabbitMQ Cluster?
A3. No. Amazon MQ enforces full mirroring (ha-mode: all) for classic queues. Use quorum queues if you need different replication semantics.
Q4. Are quorum queues better than classic mirrors?
A4. Quorum queues provide stronger consistency via Raft but drop features like priority and have slightly higher latency.
Q5. How do I test fail-over impact?
A5. Simulate by rebooting one broker node from the console; watch client reconnects, duplicate deliveries, and queue sync times.
