Monitoring & Scaling Based on RabbitMQ Telemetry

Zalando's Communication platform products are powered by a RabbitMQ cluster as the broker for all service to service communication. A mixed set of work loads between transactional & commercial communication use-cases running 24/7 our systems gains their scalability and resilience patterns relying on multiple telemetry points we collect and react on in real time. Managing cost efficiency and finding the right spot to launch more compute power has been a seamless effort with backlogs as a steering point alongside CPU utilization of the consumer application.
