Render raises $100M at a $1.5B valuation
Read the announcementWhy deploy RabbitMQ on Render?
RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that enables applications to communicate asynchronously by sending and receiving messages through queues. It solves the problem of decoupling services in distributed systems, allowing components to operate independently and handle varying loads without direct dependencies on each other.
This template deploys RabbitMQ as a persistent web service with a Render disk already attached, so your message queue data survives restarts and redeploys without any manual volume configuration. Instead of wrestling with Docker networking, disk mounts, and health checks yourself, you get a production-ready message broker in one click. Render's native disk support means you skip the complexity of external storage solutions while keeping your queue data durable.
Architecture
What you can build
After deploying, you'll have a running RabbitMQ instance with persistent storage, so your message queues survive restarts and redeploys. You can immediately connect your services to it for async job processing, event-driven communication, or any workload that needs a message broker.
Key features
- Official Docker Image: Uses the official RabbitMQ Dockerfile from Docker Hub for a standard, maintained deployment.
- Persistent Disk Storage: Backs RabbitMQ data with a Render disk to preserve messages and state across restarts and deploys.
- Web Service Deployment: Runs RabbitMQ as a Render web service rather than a background worker or private service.
- Data Loss Resilience: Disk-backed storage ensures queue data survives container restarts and redeployments.
Use cases
- Backend developer decouples microservices with async message passing
- Startup queues background jobs like email sends and image processing
- E-commerce team handles order processing spikes without losing requests
- DevOps engineer needs persistent message broker without manual infrastructure setup
Next steps
- Open the RabbitMQ management UI at your service URL on port 15672 — You should see the RabbitMQ dashboard login page where you can sign in with your configured credentials
- Test the connection by publishing a message using the management UI's 'Publish message' feature in the Queues tab — You should see the message count increase and be able to retrieve the message from the queue
- Verify data persistence by restarting the service from the Render dashboard, then check the management UI — Your previously created queues and messages should still be present, confirming the Render disk is working
