Capacity Planning & Load Testing
Learn how to size a RabbitMQ deployment and validate it under realistic load using tools like PerfTest, so production never surprises you with throughput cliffs.
Why Plan Capacity?
Production incidents often stem from undersized brokers: queues back up, memory alarms fire, and publishers block.
Capacity planning and load testing prevent these surprises.
Key Metrics to Size For
- Publish and deliver rates (messages/sec)
- Average message size
- Peak queue depth
- Number of connections and channels
