Thanks for your response Matthew. I want to understand a bit more about how the new persister is going to be different from the current one? Please correct me if i am wrong, i believe that currently the messages are in the queue are loaded in the memory, and if they are marked persistent, any time the consumer stops consuming messages or other scenarios the messages are written to the disk and retrieved later when needed. <div>
<br></div><div>The problem comes up when the message queue grows too large it occupies a lot of memory and the server is not able to handle it.</div><div><br></div><div>You mentioned the Rabbit queue can store more messages than the RAM permits, can I know how it is being done?</div>

</div><div class="im">In a word: yes.<br>
<br>
The new persister is explicitly designed to target these kinds of<br>
scalability issues: ensuring that Rabbit can easily and happily store<br>
more messages than RAM permits and in some cases getting very close to<br>
zero RAM cost per message.<br>
