Managed RabbitMQ

Managed RabbitMQ Services — We Run the Brokers

AceMQ operates RabbitMQ as your platform team would, on your infrastructure and inside your security boundary. We own monitoring, patching, upgrades, capacity and the pager. You keep the data, the cloud account and the ability to walk away with a documented platform. Prefer not to run infrastructure at all? AceMQ also hosts RabbitMQ as a service — plans are below.

Named by the RabbitMQ Core Team

The Featured Authorized Partner for RabbitMQ — named by the engineers who build it

AceMQ is the Featured Authorized Partner for RabbitMQ, named by the RabbitMQ Core Engineering Team — the people who write and maintain the broker. That recognition covers RabbitMQ support, licensing and professional services, and it makes AceMQ the only RabbitMQ partner with a direct line to the core team. When an escalation needs an answer that is not in the documentation, it does not stop at a support tier.

You do not have to take our word for it — RabbitMQ lists AceMQ on its own site.

Is This You?

You probably need this if…

Nobody on the team wants the RabbitMQ pager, and the person who understood the cluster has left
You are running RabbitMQ in production but no one owns upgrades, so the version keeps drifting further behind
A managed cloud broker would mean moving the data out of your own account, and compliance will not allow it
Your platform team is small enough that one incident consumes a sprint
You need 24/7 cover for a broker that only genuinely breaks two or three times a year
CVE patching happens when someone remembers, rather than on a schedule you could show an auditor
You want the operational discipline of a managed service without handing over the infrastructure
Outcomes

Where you are now, and where you end up

Concrete state changes, not deliverable counts. This is what actually differs about your RabbitMQ estate when the engagement closes.

Before

RabbitMQ is everyone's responsibility, which means it is nobody's. Upgrades slip a year at a time.

After

A named senior engineer owns the platform, with upgrades planned on a published cadence and executed in your change windows.

Before

Alerts fire into a channel where whoever is awake picks them up, with no defined response time.

After

Alerts route to our on-call rota under a contracted 15-minute emergency response, with your team looped in rather than woken.

Before

A managed cloud service is the only alternative on the table, and it means your messages leave your account.

After

The brokers stay on your infrastructure, in your VPC, under your data-residency rules. We operate them; we do not host them.

Before

No one can answer an auditor asking when the last CVE was assessed and patched.

After

Patch and CVE assessment on a documented schedule, with a written record per cluster you can hand to audit.

Before

Handing the platform back would mean starting from nothing, so you are locked in by ignorance rather than contract.

After

Runbooks, topology documentation and monitoring stay yours throughout. Exit is a handover, not a rebuild.

Scope

What's covered

Monitoring and On-Call

We instrument the cluster properly — queue depth, consumer utilisation, memory and disk alarms, partition detection, Erlang process and file-descriptor headroom — and take the pager. Alerts reach an engineer who already knows your topology rather than someone reading it for the first time at 3am.

Patching and CVE Management

RabbitMQ and Erlang patching on a defined cadence, with CVE assessment against the versions you actually run. Where you are on a series the community no longer patches, coverage continues through our extended LTS support rather than forcing an upgrade you have not scheduled.

Upgrades and Version Strategy

A published upgrade path rather than a version that drifts. We plan the hops, test against your workload, and execute in your change window — including the classic-to-quorum queue migration and the feature-flag sequencing that trips most in-house upgrades.

Capacity and Performance

Ongoing capacity review against real throughput, not the sizing someone guessed at go-live. Prefetch, queue type, memory watermark and disk sizing revisited as the workload changes, with the reasoning written down.

Kubernetes and Cloud Operations

Where RabbitMQ runs on Kubernetes we operate the Cluster Operator, persistent volumes, network policy for inter-node Erlang distribution, and rolling updates that keep quorum. On EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift or your own hardware.

Change and Escalation

Topology changes, new vhosts, policy and permission changes handled as routine requests. Where an issue needs the people who build RabbitMQ, AceMQ escalates directly to the RabbitMQ core team, access no other services partner has.

The Engagement

How it actually runs

Every phase has a defined duration and a concrete artifact handed over at the end of it. You always know what stage you're in and what you've received.

Phase 12–3 weeks

Assessment and Handover

We establish what you are actually running before we take responsibility for it. Version and patch position, topology, queue types, known faults, monitoring gaps and the failure modes your team already lives with. Most estates we take over are inherited or undocumented; none of that is a barrier, but discovering it during the first incident would be.

You receive
  • Cluster inventory: versions, topology, queue types, patch position
  • Health assessment with prioritised remediation list
  • Monitoring and alerting gap analysis
  • Documented runbook for the failure modes specific to your estate
Phase 22–4 weeks

Instrumentation and Onboarding

Monitoring goes in, alert routing is agreed, escalation paths and change windows are defined, and access is scoped to the minimum we need. We remediate anything the assessment flagged as an active risk before assuming the pager rather than after.

You receive
  • Monitoring and alerting deployed against agreed thresholds
  • On-call routing, escalation matrix and change-window agreement
  • Scoped access with your approval workflow
  • Critical remediation from the assessment completed
Phase 3Ongoing

Steady-State Operations

We run it. Incident response under the contracted SLA, patching and CVE assessment on schedule, capacity reviewed as the workload moves, and routine change handled as it arrives. Your team keeps building on RabbitMQ instead of maintaining it.

You receive
  • 24/7 incident response with a 15-minute emergency SLA
  • Scheduled patching with a written CVE assessment record
  • Quarterly capacity and architecture review
  • Routine topology and permission changes handled on request
Phase 4Quarterly

Review and Exit Readiness

Every quarter we review what broke, what changed and what the workload is doing to capacity. Documentation and runbooks stay current and stay yours — the test of a managed service is whether you could take it back, and we keep that answer yes.

You receive
  • Quarterly service review with incident and change history
  • Updated topology documentation and runbooks
  • Upgrade and capacity roadmap for the next two quarters
  • Current handover pack, maintained continuously

Hosted RabbitMQ: AceMQ SaaS plans

Not every team wants the brokers in its own account. For those that do not, AceMQ hosts and operates RabbitMQ on our infrastructure — the same engineers and the same 15-minute emergency SLA, without the cloud account, the Kubernetes cluster or the on-call rota. It is the alternative to a managed cloud broker for teams that want RabbitMQ specialists behind the console rather than a generic support tier.

Plans

  • Sandboxshared, vhost-isolated environment for development and evaluation.
  • Starterdedicated single-node broker for pre-production and non-critical workloads.
  • Growthdedicated three-node cluster on quorum queues — the baseline for production.
  • Scalededicated three-plus-node cluster with instance classes tuned to your workload profile.
  • Enterprisecustom topology, optionally deployed into your own cloud account with AceMQ operating it.

Engagement tiers, layered on any plan

  • Tier 0 — Localincluded with every plan: the cluster, console, definition backups and platform patching.
  • Tier 1 — Telemetrycontinuous in-broker observation with alerts reviewed by an engineer, not only a dashboard.
  • Tier 2 — AdvisedTier 1 plus quarterly workload re-reviews, upgrade regression reports and change review before significant releases.
  • Tier 3 — AssistedTier 2 plus a named senior engineer working alongside your team on topology, client behaviour and performance.

Workload readiness

Go-live readiness is part of every production plan. We benchmark your actual workload — message sizes, fan-out, consumer behaviour, failure injection — before the cluster carries traffic, so sizing is measured rather than guessed. Change reviews, upgrade regression reports and migration or version-rescue engagements are available on top for estates arriving from older RabbitMQ releases or from another broker.

What is different from CloudAMQP or Amazon MQ

  • Hosted by us, or operated inside your own cloud boundary — the same service either way.
  • An existing estate can be managed as-is; moving to our platform is never a precondition.
  • A workload benchmark before go-live and in-broker observation after it, rather than infrastructure metrics alone.
  • An upgrade and version-rescue programme for clusters on releases the community no longer patches.
  • Direct escalation to the RabbitMQ core team.
Pricing

Plans are priced per cluster shape with engagement tiers on top; annual, multi-year and multi-cluster commitments discount from list. Tell us the workload and we will come back with a plan recommendation and pricing within 24 hours.
