Scheduled

We will be performing an upgrade of the Ably Queue infrastructure during this period. No impact is expected for most users of Ably Queues.

During this upgrade, our RabbitMQ clusters will require a minimum `frame_max` of 8192 bytes for AMQP 0-9-1 connections. This is a change introduced in RabbitMQ 4.1 to support larger authentication payloads.

For any users of Ably Queues using the `amqplib` library, please ensure you are on version 0.10.7 or later to avoid any disruption.

Alternatively, you can explicitly set `frame_max` to 8192 or higher in your connection options.

You can see further documentation in the RabbitMQ release notes: https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2025/04/15/rabbitmq-4.1.0-is-released#initial-amqp-0-9-1-maximum-frame-size

If you have any questions, please speak to our support team who will be happy to help.
