[rabbitmq-discuss] Exchange with throttling

Mon Jul 30 10:45:09 BST 2012

Definitely I would like to extend the flow control mechanism to support
something similar as I've done with plugin, so someone can set a maximum
messages per second or something similar

It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission


".....it doesn't matter how many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many
times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your
failures, and either should you. All you have to do is learn from them and
those around you because...All that matters in business is that you get it
right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are."

"Always be the worst guy in every band you're in." If you're the best guy
there, you need to be in a different band. And I think that works for
almost everything that's out there as well." Pat Metheny
