This Month in RabbitMQ — August 2019

Welcome back for another edition of This Month in RabbitMQ! Some big news last month was Pivotal announced a forthcoming alpha of Pivotal RabbitMQ for Kubernetes.

You can inquire about the alpha here. As part of that announcement, RabbitMQ was mentioned in coverage in Business Insider, Container Journal, SiliconANGLE, Storage Review, The New Stack, and ZDNet. Pretty cool!

Before we move on to the update from the core team and our wonderful community, a reminder that prices for RabbitMQ Summit go up on August 22, so get your tickets now!

You can add on RabbitMQ training to your ticket—basic and advanced courses are available. Great talks planned from Bloomberg, WeWork, Softonic, the Erlang Solutions and CloudAMQP teams, as well as the core RabbitMQ engineers, of course.
