Dead letter queue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In message queueing the dead letter queue is a service implementation to store messages that meet one or more of the following criteria:

  1. Message that is sent to a queue that does not exist.[1][2]
  2. Queue length limit exceeded.
  3. Message length limit exceeded.
  4. Message is rejected by another queue exchange.[3]
  5. Message reaches a threshold read counter number, because it is not consumed. Sometimes this is called a "back out queue".
  6. The message expires due to per-message TTL (time to live)[4]
  7. Message is not processed successfully.

Dead letter queue storing of these messages allows developers to look for common patterns and potential software problems.[5]

Queueing systems that incorporate dead letter queues include ,[6] Amazon Simple Queue Service,[5] Apache ActiveMQ, Google Cloud Pub/Sub,[7] HornetQ, Microsoft Message Queuing,[1] Microsoft Azure Event Grid and Azure Service Bus,[8] WebSphere MQ,[9] ,[10] Rabbit MQ,[3] Apache Kafka[11] and .[12][13]
