Broadway catches exceptions and handles other errors by logging the error and “failing” the message. Is there a way to get a callback called to do something with that error as well? I would need the original message and the error (message, exception, etc).

My use case:

We’re collecting a bunch of data from a bunch of people over time. As the data gets collected it gets put on a queue and consumed by another app to coalesce that data into a bunch of “facts” (for lack of a better term) that we can query and report on. Any errors get sent back to the collection application by publishing a message to another queue with the original payload and the error reason. The sending application listens for these messages and collects them into a report for “quality control” to rectify.

Rabbit dead-letters don’t work because a nack doesn’t allow you change the message as far as I know. So we need to actually push another message. We built all of this ourselves before Broadway, but not quite as sophisticated as Broadway (e.g. termination process). I was looking to convert to Broadway and couldn’t see a way to do that. Any pointers?

Thanks.
