As streaming workloads grow, storage becomes the bottleneck that limits RabbitMQ deployments. This technical deep-dive explores how to break through local disk barriers using tiered storage architecture. You’ll learn the fundamentals of RabbitMQ stream storage - from segment files to I/O operations - and discover how to seamlessly extend existing systems through file abstraction layers. We’ll cover implementing storage backends that preserve write performance while enabling transparent reads across tiers, all without disrupting live streaming workloads.
