Limiting Concurrent Processing in RabbitMQ Function

Question

Hello,

Currently, I'm working on an application that consumes real-time messages from a RabbitMQ queue, for which I have an Azure function that triggers from RabbitMQ. After reaching the queue, this message must go through a pipeline. However, for this pipeline to function, I need only 4 items from the queue to be processed at once, and the queue should only advance if the number of items under classification is equal to 3 or less.

My application receives dozens, or even hundreds of messages in a few minutes. What I need is to somehow limit the number of items from the queue being processed simultaneously. Is there any way to do this through Azure functions, and just for this function?

@Heitor Danilo Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, there is no out of box configuration in the azure function RabbitMQ host.json that can help you with your use case. The only supported configuration is listed here. You can provide your feedback/feature request/suggestion for RabbitMQ connector here.
