A common and standard solution to ensure that a delivery latency requirement is met is to set a Time To Live (TTL) on the message, and if this expires, this will be moved to the Dead Letter Queue where you can perform compensating actions.

TTL can be defined

  • On a per-message basis by the message publisher
  • As a default on the queue itself

If both the queue and the message have the TTL set, then the lower latency will be policed.
