Message queues have improved fuel station data flow and now provide faster front-end responses
What is our primary use case?
CloudAMQP is mainly used for message queuing and asynchronous communication between applications and services.
We have a hardware device which is made up of circuits, and it will communicate with the real-time dispenser unit in the fuel station. Once the data is taken from the fuel pump, it will transmit to the server. From the server, it will be queued in the AMQP and it will be displayed in the front end.
CloudAMQP is deployed in our organization on our private cloud.
What is most valuable?
The best features that CloudAMQP offers include handling server setup, RabbitMQ installations, upgrades, patching, maintenance, scaling, and backup. It is a fully managed RabbitMQ, allowing easy scaling without any downtime.
CloudAMQP offers strong monitoring and alerting features that make managing the RabbitMQ environment much easier, providing real-time visibility into the queues, messaging rates, consumers, and memory usage through an easy-to-use dashboard.
After using CloudAMQP, our efficiency has increased, and the data which is transferring from the fuel station has become easier and faster to communicate with our front-end application. The data which is queued in RabbitMQ is providing the fastest response to the front-end application.
What needs improvement?
CloudAMQP can be improved in a few ways, such as lowering the pricing at scale and keeping the pricing structure simpler. It should also have a better beginner experience, improvements in UI and UX, and we would appreciate more advanced analytics.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using CloudAMQP for one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
CloudAMQP's scalability is good.
How are customer service and support?
We have never needed to reach out to customer support.
How was the initial setup?
The setup cost is low because the platform is fully managed, so teams don't need to spend much on infrastructure or DevOps resources. The setup process is quick and developer-friendly, often taking only a few minutes to get running.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with time saved.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
CloudAMQP has a flexible pricing model with both free and paid plans that make it easy to start small and scale later.
Licensing is subscription-based with monthly billing, and while pricing can become expensive at higher scales, many teams feel the operational convenience and reliability justify the cost of production workloads.
What other advice do I have?
If you are considering CloudAMQP, my advice is to start with a small plan and learn RabbitMQ fundamentals such as queues, exchange, and routing keys early. CloudAMQP is excellent for microservices, background jobs, and event-driven systems because it reduces infrastructure and maintenance efforts significantly. Make good use of its monitoring and alerting features from the beginning and design your queues carefully for better scalability and performance. I would rate this product a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
One stop for all solutions
What do you like best about the product?
It was great, and very useful. Server management and monitoring at its best. It is easy to implement. Customer support is very good and responsive. It is easily integrated
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing as of yet, but can have more features in future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
server mangement, monitoring, integration.
Best platform for RabbitMQ
What do you like best about the product?
CloudAMQP really helps us utilize RabbitMQ out of the box. It's the best platform with amazing customer support and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any dislikes; everything is okay, but pricing may be a problem for small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used CloudAMQP for many projects, from microservices to job processing; everything works amazingly
Very easy Queue management system that does exactly what needs to do
What do you like best about the product?
Our developers love it, they are the ones that started using it. it manages everything by itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything I dislike, cost is cheap, easy to use. Okay thinking deeply I just have one problem with the invoice system, I would be happier if I could automate the invoice to be sent to our system automatically monthly. but other than that is quite solid solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication asynchronous between consumer and producer using queue systems. For example we use it for our notification systems or our callaback systems.
Great software
What do you like best about the product?
What is theost helpful for me in this product is that I can receive all my emails can be set up with alarms and I can be notified of anything I want to input through multiple platforms with the control panels.
What do you dislike about the product?
This product has done nothing but help my business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can bundle your emails and have them all in one place.
Great RabbitMQ as service
What do you like best about the product?
Solution is very stable and easy to deploy. Very flexible plans and fast support.
You can put the enhanced metrics into your own CloudWatch or ask them to install the Prometheus plugin and scrape it like your own cluster.
What do you dislike about the product?
As usual in the SaaS world -- the price is high, but in case that message queue is actually a very important part of every platform, it is much better to rely on the guys, who knows how to cook it properly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unstable in-house RabbitMQ cluster gave us a lot of stability issues. 0 issues since ~1 year after the move to CloudAMQP
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need the stable and easy deployable RabbitMQ -- that's your choice
