Thank you for this post.

When I first started using RabbitMQ I experienced just about everything you described.

I felt incredibly stupid when a customer would have issues with a queue being stuck or messages that were being dropped, and having no clue on why this was happening.

This is so true. You can get it running in 10 minutes, but it takes weeks of banging your head against the wall and angry customers before you have it running right.
