ActiveMQ + Megabus: Investigate retry policies + deadletter

  • 1. Investigate if we can ack only in the end of processing a message (either by configuration or manually)
  • 2. If so, confirm that message goes back to the queue when a worker dies unexpectedly
  • 3. Check if throwing an error is sufficient to return the message to the queue
  • Investigate support for deadletters:
    • Is there anything prebuilt on the megabus library?
    • How do we configure it on activemq?
    • Is there any builtin support to move messages back to the main queue, ie in the activeMQ admin ui?
  • Check retrial policy alternatives: is there's any retry mechanism builtin in the megabus library or do we need to implement it ourselves
