Starlight for RabbitMQ proxy extension

Following the proxy extension interface, Starlight for RabbitMQ constructs a gateway service that monitors RabbitMQ channel(s).

Both the proxy extension and the protocol handler use the same gateway logic for functions like creating channels, managing exchanges, and publishing messages. To learn more about these functions, see Starlight for RabbitMQ protocol handler.

One notable difference between the Starlight for RabbitMQ proxy extension and the protocol handler is that the proxy runs on the Pulsar Proxy. This means that a discovery must be done at startup to find available brokers. The Starlight for RabbitMQ proxy extension uses the broker discovery mechanism provided in the Pulsar proxy extension interface to discover brokers. It then chooses the first available broker from that collection. All messages to the Starlight for RabbitMQ service are produced using that broker.
