[rabbitmq-discuss] Performance of many binding keys on a single queue

Fri Feb 15 21:15:57 GMT 2013

Hi, Jonathan:

The routing work for an exchange is actually performed by the Erlang
process associated with the channel you're publishing on, rather than being
an independent entity as the processes that back queues are.

On a per message basis, the amount of routing work will depend on the
exchange type and whatever matching behavior is implemented for it.
 Documentation to set your expectations for the different exchange types
can be found around the RabbitMQ website, e.g. here, where the performance
improvements to topic exchanges were first written up:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/tag/trie/

...as well as in the Manning book "RabbitMQ in Action" IIRC.

Best regards,
Jerry
