🧱 Core Building Blocks

Feature	Description
Caching	In-memory, Redis, and hybrid caching with automatic invalidation
Queues	Reliable message queuing with Redis, Azure, AWS SQS
Locks	Distributed locking and throttling
Messaging	Pub/sub with Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus

🚀 Quick Start

dotnet add package Foundatio.RabbitMQ

// Messaging
IMessageBus messageBus = new RabbitMQMessageBus(o => o
    .ConnectionString("amqp://localhost"));
await messageBus.PublishAsync(new MyMessage { Data = "Hello" });

Delayed Message Delivery

Foundatio.RabbitMQ supports delayed message delivery via the DeliveryDelay option on PublishAsync.

Current behavior:

1. RabbitMQ < 4.3 with plugin installed: If the rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange plugin is detected, it is used for delayed delivery. A warning is logged because the plugin is deprecated and will not work on RabbitMQ 4.3+.
2. RabbitMQ < 4.3 without plugin: Falls back to an in-memory delay scheduler provided by MessageBusBase. Messages are held in process memory and delivered after the delay. This is not durable -- delayed messages are lost if the process restarts.
3. When the RabbitMQ server version is detected as >= 4.3: The plugin probe is skipped (the plugin depends on Mnesia, which was removed in 4.3), and the in-memory fallback is used automatically. If the server version cannot be determined from ServerProperties["version"], the probe may still be attempted before falling back.

Migration guidance:

The rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange plugin is archived and no longer maintained. RabbitMQ 4.3 removes Mnesia, making the plugin incompatible. If you rely on delayed messages:

• On RabbitMQ < 4.3: The plugin still works but logs a deprecation warning at startup.
• On RabbitMQ >= 4.3: Delayed messages use the in-memory fallback automatically. Be aware that these are not durable across process restarts.
• For durable delayed delivery on RabbitMQ 4.3+, consider implementing TTL + Dead-Letter Exchange patterns or using an external scheduler.
