What Is CloudAMQP
CloudAMQP is a managed hosting service for RabbitMQ and LavinMQ, two open-source, AMQP-compatible message brokers used to decouple application components and handle asynchronous messaging. Instead of a team standing up and operating its own broker cluster, CloudAMQP automates provisioning, TLS encryption, monitoring, clustering, and automated backups.
The service is built by 84codes AB, a Swedish company founded in 2012 by Carl Horberg and headquartered in Gothenburg. In addition to CloudAMQP, 84codes develops LavinMQ, its own high-performance, Crystal-language message broker built as a resource-efficient alternative to RabbitMQ, and also operates a managed MQTT broker called CloudMQTT.
CloudAMQP Plans and Pricing
CloudAMQP offers both multi-tenant shared plans, including genuinely free tiers for RabbitMQ and LavinMQ, and dedicated single-tenant plans on their own virtual machines. Dedicated plans range from around 49 to 50 dollars per month for entry-level single-node instances up to several thousand dollars per month for high-throughput, multi-availability-zone clustered configurations.
All plans bill per second based on actual instance uptime rather than a flat monthly fee, and optional add-ons include a dedicated Virtual Private Cloud and additional disk space priced per gigabyte.
Cloud Availability and Compliance
CloudAMQP is available on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure across 19 cloud regions worldwide, letting customers place their message broker close to their application infrastructure for lower latency. The service publishes SOC 2 and SOC 3 compliance reports, which supports adoption by teams with formal vendor-security review requirements.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Genuinely free tiers available for both RabbitMQ and LavinMQ, not just a time-limited trial
Wide multi-cloud availability across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure in 19 regions
Per-second billing means costs track actual usage rather than a flat recurring fee
In-house LavinMQ broker offers a higher-throughput, more resource-efficient alternative to standard RabbitMQ
Long operating history since 2012 with published SOC 2 and SOC 3 compliance reports
Dedicated plans scale from single-node to large multi-availability-zone clusters on the same platform
Cons
Employee headcount and broader company financials are not publicly disclosed
Highest-throughput dedicated plans can cost several thousand to over 17,000 dollars per month
Free and low-cost shared plans have fairly low message, connection, and queue limits
Choosing between RabbitMQ and LavinMQ requires understanding trade-offs between broker ecosystems
Smaller Swedish company profile compared to hyperscaler-native messaging services like AWS SQS or Google Pub/Sub
Per-second billing, while flexible, can make monthly costs less predictable to forecast than flat-rate plans
