RabbitMQ: consumer prefetch and fair dispatch

When to use

Use this skill for consumer prefetch and fair dispatch in RabbitMQ. This skill specifically handles consumer prefetch and fair dispatch and nothing else in the RabbitMQ family.

Procedure

Tune the prefetch_count/QoS so fast consumers aren't starved and slow ones don't hoard unacked messages.

Notes

This is the RabbitMQ skill dedicated to consumer prefetch and fair dispatch. Sibling skills cover other RabbitMQ capabilities; this one is the right choice only when the task is about consumer prefetch and fair dispatch.
