RabbitMQ
Consulting & Services

We aren't just resellers. We provide comprehensive architectural reviews, custom enterprise-grade support, and dedicated scaling strategies tailored to your exact use case.

It starts with an assessment of the cluster you already run (topology, queue types, resource headroom, version and patch position) and ends with a written plan you could hand to another engineer. Between those, the work is whatever the assessment surfaces: a migration path, a capacity model, a performance fix, a high-availability redesign. Engagements are scoped to a specific outcome rather than sold as a block of hours, and the engineer who does the assessment stays on the work.

Ask three things. Who will actually do the work: the person on the sales call, or someone you have not met? What happens when a problem needs an answer that is not in the documentation, because that is where general-purpose consultancies stop. And can they show production engagements at your scale rather than reference architectures. AceMQ is Broadcom's VMware Expert Advantage Partner of the Year for the Americas, 2025, and the only RabbitMQ partner with a direct line to the core team that builds the software.

Yes, we specialize in zero-downtime migrations from platforms like ActiveMQ, Kafka, or legacy systems to modernized RabbitMQ instances.

Alongside, in most engagements. The common pattern is a team that runs RabbitMQ competently but hits something outside its experience (a migration, a scaling wall, a failure mode nobody has seen before) and wants an expert beside them rather than an outsourcing contract. We also run the platform outright where a team has no RabbitMQ specialist to spare. Both are normal; the assessment usually makes clear which one you need.

Compare on five things and ignore the rest. Response time for a P1, in minutes, written into the contract. Which versions are covered: many providers stop at the current series, AceMQ covers 3.8.x to 4.x with backported security patches. Who answers: a named engineer or a tier-1 queue. Whether they support open-source RabbitMQ or only the commercial distribution. And proof at your scale: named engagements, not reference architectures. AceMQ answers P1 incidents in 15 minutes, is Broadcom's exclusive strategic RabbitMQ MSP partner, and is the only partner with a direct line to the RabbitMQ core team.

Both, in most cases. Keep in-house engineers for the daily operation they already understand, and bring a partner in for the things that happen once: a major upgrade, a migration off classic mirrored queues, a scaling wall, a failure mode nobody on the team has seen. The partner should leave a written plan your team can run. Outsourcing the whole platform makes sense only when there is no RabbitMQ specialist to spare, and the assessment at the start of an engagement usually makes clear which situation you are in.

If you run RabbitMQ in production and need someone accountable for it, yes. AceMQ is Broadcom's VMware Expert Advantage Partner of the Year for the Americas (2025), Broadcom's exclusive strategic RabbitMQ MSP partner, and the only RabbitMQ partner with a direct line to the core team that builds the software. Coverage runs from 3.8.x to 4.x, P1 response is 15 minutes, and the work spans 130+ enterprise clients in 26+ countries. If you only need a licence and have your own engineers, the licensing page explains what a licence does and does not buy.

Absolutely. We have extensive experience tailoring RabbitMQ deployments for strict compliance and data security requirements in finance, healthcare, and government sectors.

AMQP 0-9-1 is the primary messaging protocol, with AMQP 1.0 now mature. RabbitMQ also speaks MQTT, STOMP, WebSocket and HTTP through plugins, so it fits IoT and browser clients alongside conventional backend services. Ports 5672 and 5671 carry AMQP in plaintext and TLS respectively.

The open-source project moved to Broadcom through its VMware acquisition, and Broadcom sells the commercial distribution as Tanzu RabbitMQ through the Broadcom support portal. The core software remains open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. AceMQ is Broadcom's exclusive strategic RabbitMQ MSP partner, with direct access to the RabbitMQ core team.
