How amqp is used
amqp is a dependency in 4 of the 6,208 public GitHub projects set up for AI coding agents that we scanned, too few to describe it from them alone. Our scan also samples projects by dependency (Solana 2,661, Ethereum and EVM 1,496, 3D and games 2,818, agent frameworks and SDKs 10,983); counting those, it appears in 39 projects, and what it is used with below comes from all of them. The most used alternative in our scan is redis (Python) (124 projects). Projects that use it most often also use Celery (100.0%), Kombu (100.0%), Billiard (97.4%).

Money by month, last five years. First money received in Apr 2018. The typical month is the median: one big one-off donation does not move it.
The same collective is named by 3 more tools in our catalog: Celery, Kombu, Billiard.
Open Collective lists this collective for the celery organization on GitHub, so the money is for all of its projects, not amqp alone.
USD after payment processor fees, as Open Collective reports it; fiscal host Open Source Collective. Source
