RabbitMQ / AMQP: single queue, multiple consumers for same message?

Question

I am just starting to use RabbitMQ and AMQP in general.

• I have a queue of messages
• I have multiple consumers, which I would like to do different thing

Answer 1

To get the behavior you want, simply have each consumer consume from its own queue. You'll have to use a non-direct exchange type (topic, header, fanout) in order to get the message to all of the queues at once.
