[rabbitmq-discuss] Clustering and scaling

[Stuart Munro]

Hi,

I was wondering someone could give me a few pointers about using RabbitMQ in cluster mode.

So far we have 2 RabbitMQ's in cluster mode (rb-1 and rb-2), rb-2 is in RAM mode.

How do other people setup redundancy in terms of queue consumers hitting the cluster?

So, for example could I have a load balancer sitting in front of the 2 rb's and in a round-robin approach on the load balancer distribute load between them – this raises the question – how quick is the replication between the nodes?

Alternatively, do I setup a failover implementation using something like HAProxy? But this raises the question how to I scale horizontally?

Thank you very much for your time, much appreciated.

Stuart
