Summing up RabbitMQ Summit 2018 and looking forward to 2019

The RabbitMQ Summit 2018 brought attendees from all over the community and gathered RabbitMQ-ers from 20 different countries.

RabbitMQ Summit 2018 was a single tracked, one day, conference with 9 speakers, which brought light to RabbitMQ from a number of angles from best practice and user perspective to what's new and upcoming from the RabbitMQ core team.

A huge part of the community was at the same place, talking around one (and only one) subject, for a whole day. Together we showed the world what a great community we are growing in to, and we had the chance to talk about things we want to improve. - Anna Burman, Attendee

Key Takeaways from RabbitMQ Summit 2018

Of course, many discussions of RabbitMQ (both held by speakers and between attendees) was looking towards the future. What will new versions carry for its users? What do users expect from the RabbitMQ core team and what's on the user wishlist when it comes to updates, features, add-ons, etc? One hot topic was the revelation of Quorum Queues , a new feature in RabbitMQ 3.8, which will be the new way to reach HA (High Availability).

One giant, and also one of the most appreciated topics, was the ones concerning RabbitMQ Best Practices recommendations. Attendees got stuffed with useful "do's and dont's" of RabbitMQ usage, based on experiences from companies (both big and small), RabbitMQ Developers, long-standing RabbitMQ experts and from each other.

For Best Practices we recommend: Lovisa Johansson, Gavin Roy

Attendees also got to take part in interesting (and fun!) Use Cases where companies described their RabbitMQ usage and the relief it brought to their infrastructure. Nathan Herald, Software Engineer at Wunderlist/ Microsoft, gave CloudAMQP the best of feedback by explaining how he used CloudAMQP while working with Wunderlist.

All recordings can be found at the RabbitMQ summit website, where you are able to take part in both videos and speaker slides.
