Question 1

How do I set up Bunny with Rails for background jobs?

Accepted Answer

Integrate Bunny by creating consumers and publishers in Rails workers; use gems like Sidekiq or custom Active Job adapters to handle message processing, ensuring proper connection management in production.

Question 2

Bunny vs March Hare: which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use Bunny for CRuby projects due to its ease of use and feature completeness, but choose March Hare if you're on JRuby, as Bunny no longer supports it. Both have similar APIs but different underlying implementations.

Question 3

Does Bunny support SSL with self-signed certificates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bunny supports TLS/SSL connections including self-signed certificates, but you need to configure the connection parameters properly and ensure your Ruby installation has a recent OpenSSL version with TLS 1.3 support.

Question 4

How to handle connection failures and reconnections in Bunny?

Accepted Answer

Implement error handling using Bunny's built-in recovery mechanisms or custom retry logic, as outlined in the error handling guide. It's recommended to use automatic reconnection and monitor for network issues.

Question 5

Can I use Bunny with Dockerized RabbitMQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bunny works seamlessly with RabbitMQ in Docker by specifying the container's host and port in the connection setup. Ensure network connectivity and configure TLS if required for secure communication.

Question 6

What's the performance impact of using Bunny in high-throughput systems?

Accepted Answer

Bunny is designed for reliability and ease of use, but as a pure Ruby implementation, it may have higher overhead compared to C-based clients. For extreme performance needs, benchmark with your workload and consider tuning channel and connection pools.
