RabbitMQ: dead-letter queues and retries

When to use

Use this skill for dead-letter queues and retries in RabbitMQ. This skill specifically handles dead-letter queues and retries and nothing else in the RabbitMQ family.

Procedure

Configure dead-letter exchanges, TTL-based retry queues, and a parking-lot queue for poison messages.

Notes

This is the RabbitMQ skill dedicated to dead-letter queues and retries. Sibling skills cover other RabbitMQ capabilities; this one is the right choice only when the task is about dead-letter queues and retries.
