How to detect:

RabbitMQ as message broker exhibits higher latency compared to Redis in distributed systems. Redis typically offers lower overhead, achieving sub-millisecond latencies and reducing enqueue/dequeue times by up to 20%.

Recommended action:

Evaluate switching message broker from RabbitMQ to Redis for latency-sensitive workloads. Redis excels with low-latency operations and in-memory capabilities. Profile workloads regularly to align broker choice with demand. For high-volume queues, RabbitMQ may still be preferred (supports thousands of messages/second on modest hardware).
