Updated: For the open-source RabbitMQ, we recommend using the CloudAMQP plug-in, which is a fork of the original. This works 100% with MassTransit. https://github.com/cloudamqp/rabbitmq-delayed-message-exchange/releases For the commercial RabbitMQ, you can use the built-in delayed-queues plug-in which is backwards compatible with the delayed exchange plug-in and works with MassTransit.

It seems that the official direction from RabbitMQ is to make it a feature of the commercial version. |

I'm not surprised. The current version with the plug-in is stable and used by over 70% of MassTransit customers, so I'd say it's been pretty solid for years. I'm not sure where their commercial solution will end up, but without adding delayed redelivery (since their new database engine breaks the plug-in anyway) they're going to have to do something. ASB and SQS both have native delayed delivery, it's always been a nit that RMQ didn't have it built-in. |

For anyone following this thread and looking for a RMQ 4+ solution: I've released a community fork of the archived plugin updated with Khepri support. It works with RabbitMQ 4.3+ and includes additional bug fixes: |

Thanks for your comment. We have already moved forward with recommending the CloudAMQP fork of the original plug-in. We've removed your link to avoid any suggestion that your fork has been tested or is in any way supported/related to MassTransit. |
