RabbitMQ and message priority

Question

Does RabbitMQ have any concept of message priority? I have an issue were some more important messages are being slowed down due to less important messages sitting before it

Answer 1

RabbitMQ / AMQP definitely has a concept of message priority - the message at the head of a queue gets priority over the one behind it, and that one gets priority over the one behind it, and so on, ad infinitum.

Can you change that model? Nope! :)
