This Month in RabbitMQ, January 2020 Recap

Introducing TGI RabbitMQ! Inspired by TGI Kubernetes, RabbitMQ engineer, Gerhard Lazu has begun a series of tutorial videos. Tune in at the end of each month for the latest release. In January, Gerhard covered upgrading from 3.7 to 3.8. Star and watch the repository for future episode updates.

Also, be sure to check out the dashboards we’ve published to Grafana. These are a great way to get started with the new Prometheus and Grafana support in 3.8.

Project Updates

• First public beta version of Pivotal RabbitMQ for Kubernetes.
• Spring AMQP 2.2.3
• Hop 3.6.0 is released with new features and dependency upgrades. The HTTP client for the classic blocking client is now pluggable, making it possible to use OkHttp instead of Apache HTTPComponents.
