I haven't run into that myself, when would you want a variable number of consumers? Usually the way I have it is that a service, which is itself a cluster of processes, owns one queue. For example, an AWS Lambda triggered by that queue.

Then any new lambdas or other services that want to subscribe to messages will have another queue, and another, etc.

I haven't had a case where I had service groups coming up and down, I'm struggling to think of a use case.
