Prerequisites0:30
Basic configuration and Installation Hands On6:22
Configuration5:27
Configuration file Hands On4:54
Plugins0:46
Plugins - Web Admin Hands On2:22
Web Admin Overview and Default User Password9:24
RabbitMQ RESTful API0:45
Use the RabbitMQ RESTful API on the management port to integrate external systems and build custom monitoring UIs. Fetch node details with GET /api/nodes and access full documentation at /api.
Exchanges, Queues, Bindings, Routing Keys9:19
Explore how exchanges, queues, bindings, and routing keys route messages in RabbitMQ. Understand how default, fanout, direct, topic, and headers exchanges use binding keys and routing keys to deliver messages.
First Queue and First Consumption Hands On6:40

Common Patterns0:26
Discover most common routing and consuming patterns in RabbitMQ, from simple queues to work queues. Explore publish and subscribe, and RPC (remote procedure call) models, using the web management UI.
Patterns: Simple Queue Hands On4:58
Patterns: Work Queues / Task Queues Hands On8:46
Learn how work queues distribute time-consuming tasks across multiple workers to scale out processing. Use acknowledgements, requeue, and dead letter exchange concepts to ensure reliable delivery.
Patterns: Publish / Subscribe (fanout) Hands On8:52
Patterns: Publish / Subscribe based on Routing Hands On9:29
Patterns: Publish / Subscribe based on Topics Hands On15:05
Patterns: Publish / Subscribe based on Headers Hands On11:46
Patterns: RPC - Remote Procedure Call Hands On16:35
Demonstrates building a RabbitMQ RPC system using a single RPC queue and exclusive client reply queues. Use correlation ID to map requests to responses across multiple methods and clients.

Custom Exchanges - Consistent Hash Exchange13:09
Dead Letter Exchange (DLX)12:53
Delay Schedule, Delay Publication Model3:32
Leverage delay and delay scheduled patterns in RabbitMQ using a dead letter exchange to model delayed publication and automatic retries, with batch publication and ttl-based handling through the x-message-ttl attribute.
Data safety - Transactions & Publisher Confirms12:14
Vhosts8:48
Policies2:39
Lazy queues - memory optimization11:18
To follow Lazy queues lecture, use RabbitMQ version 3.11.x or older.
Starting with 3.12, the x-queue-mode=lazy argument is ignored. All classic queues will now behave similarly to the way lazy queues behaved previously. That is, messages tend to be written to disk and only a small subset is kept in memory. The number of messages in memory depends on the consumption rate. This change affects all users of classic queues.

Priority Queues18:23
Explore how RabbitMQ priority queues work by using the x-max-priority attribute to assign 1–255 priorities, observe delivery order, performance implications, and caveats like ttl, max-length, and internal queue behavior.
NT service6:45
Learn to run RabbitMQ as a Windows service by configuring with two environment variables (RABBITMQ_BASE and ERLANG_HOME) and a configuration file, using rabbitmq-service to install, start, and manage the service.

Overview3:08
Cluster Scale-Out Hands On25:10
Cluster Scale-In Hands On7:13
Learn how to scale in a RabbitMQ cluster by removing a node, forgetting it from the cluster, stopping its application, resetting its database, and updating remaining nodes.
Shovels Hands On10:45
Federated Exchange Hands On21:37
Federated Queue Hands On12:19
Practice federated queues to balance a single logical queue across clusters by linking an upstream and downstream, with messages moving to the downstream only when a consumer connects.
Cluster, Federation, Shovel Summary2:52
Highly Available (Mirrored) Queues Hands On14:52
Learn to configure highly available, mirrored queues in RabbitMQ with a mirroring policy (ha-mode, ha-params), creating masters and mirrors across nodes, and choose manual or automatic synchronization.
Quorum Queues Hands On10:52
Quorum queues provide durable, raft-based high-availability queues with a leader and followers, automatic synchronization, and read-from-followers, with tradeoffs like higher memory use and missing some classic features.
Partitions Hands On18:56

Overview6:32
Secure RabbitMQ by removing the default guest account, creating per-application users, and enabling TLS across all protocols to protect data in transit and disable unencrypted ports.
Security - Permissions5:26
Explore how RabbitMQ handles authentication and authorization, define permissions with configure, read, and write, and manage complex cases like bindings, dead-letter exchanges, topic permissions, and management plugin tags.
Security Hands On27:57

Requirements

Basic administrative skills are fine enough
Programming Experience is optional - Java code we create in this course is not mandatory to understand RabbitMQ. Included Java code is an extra bonus for Developers,

Description

This course will guide you through the features and limitation or RabbitMQ. Course contains a lot of practical knowledge, examples and hands-on lectures.

If you are a beginner, don't worry, course guides you from very generic concept of queues to more advanced features. If you already have experience with RabbitMQ, you will enjoy the advanced part of it. Maybe you are in the middle and not sure if you are using RabbitMQ correctly? If so, then course will help you find answers to that questions, optionally grounding and strengthening your exiting experience. No matter what is your existing level of knowledge, after completing this course, you will be ready to become a true professional in the RabbitMQ community.

In this course, I will show you how to configure, administrate, and properly use RabbitMQ. We'll start by forming a cluster and installing plugins. Then we will go through the details of the AMQP protocol, different types of queues, exchanges, virtual hosts, security features etc.

I will show you typical RabbitMQ patterns like work queues, publish subscribe, RPC, dead letter exchanges (DLX), delayed scheduling etc.

We will also tune-up sample cluster and analyze memory usage by running performance tests. We'll simulate failures, like partitions, and I'll show you how to fix them and properly protect your cluster.

Overall, you'll learn how to build highly available and fault-tolerant clusters in the easy way, without spending hours reading manuals.

I hope to see you in the first lecture.
