Hello RabbitMQ friends! Welcome to the first installment of This Month in RabbitMQ, inspired by the wonderful and industrious Josh Long, who publishes monthly and weekly recaps for the Spring community. Our team was also inspired by the first ever RabbitMQ Summit that we held on November 12 in London. It was awesome to see an assembly of the community and the knowledge shared. Look out for videos from that event in a future issue of This Month in RabbitMQ.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at a roundup of what happened in RabbitMQ land last month!

In this post we’ll cover how the RabbitMQ Java client library gathers runtime metrics and sends them to monitoring systems like JMX and Datadog.

In this post we’ll cover a new configuration format available in RabbitMQ 3.7.0.

In this blog post we’re going to take a closer look at a new subsystem introduced in RabbitMQ 3.7.0.

After over 1 year in the works, RabbitMQ 3.7.0 has quietly shipped right before the start of the holiday season. The release was heavily inspired by the community feedback on 3.6.x. In this post we’d like to cover some of the highlights in this release.
