Delayed message in RabbitMQ

Question

Is it possible to send message via RabbitMQ with some delay? For example I want to expire client session after 30 minutes, and I send a message which will be processed after

Answer 1

That's currently not possible. You have to store your expiration timestamps in a database or something similiar, and then have a helper program that reads those timestamps and queues a message.

Delayed messages are an often requested feature, as they're useful in many situations. However, if your need is to expire client sessions I believe that messaging is not the ideal solution for you, and that another approach might work better.
