Has anyone connected to RabbitMQ?

[bboren]

We have a customer looking to use Workato to connect to RAbbitMQ.  Has anyone done that? Any pointers?

Thanks!

Hey @bboren,

Great question! Have you connected with your Workato rep to see what custom connection options you have? Looking forward to hearing more on this!

Thanks,
Meghan

I haven't done it, but it might be worth looking at whether it's necessary or not.  Your org may already be heavily invested in it, but if not another option could be leveraging Workato's own Pub/Sub capability.  That way your recipes just tap into it without figuring out a connection elsewhere.

In the case that Workato can't directly connect to RabbitMQ, there is also the option that for example Pika (a python rabbitMQ client library) can act like a consumer, process the messages, make API calls directly into Workato Pub/Sub using the platform API's. That way Pika acts like a 'dumb' forwarder with acknowledgement handling.
