Overview
Comprehensive guide to RabbitMQ messaging patterns and best practices for distributed systems. This skill covers exchange types (direct, topic, fanout, headers), message patterns (work queue, pub/sub, routing, RPC), producer and consumer patterns, dead letter queues, message acknowledgment, persistence, error handling, performance optimization, and production setup.
