There is a common request concerning what message topics pass through a given exchange.  Thus, similar to what was planned to show off STOMP support, we should build a web app (alongside other core pulse web apps like pulseguardian) that lists active exchanges (to which at least one message is posted every N seconds) and recent message topics.
Priority: -- → P4
Pulse Guardian is getting a bit misnamed now, but it's the public face of pulse.mozilla.org, so this app should be part of it, I guess.
Furthermore, we could display the last few messages from each exchange, to help people writing clients.  This is better than some static examples, which will fall out of date.

+1 to this, would be a big help in debugging.
An API that could return list of exchanges and possibly queues would be nice.
You can build UI for the API later... But I can easily imagine other uses for such an API.

With respect to maintaining a list of topics/routing-keys I would like to note that in in taskcluster we slugids (unpadded URL-safe base64 encoded uuids) in our topics, so trying to track the list of topic might be a problem.
Exchanges I've created for treeherder (not deployed yet, see bug 1016117) has the revision_hash in the routing-key.
Needless to say that uuids and revision_hash can be fairly unique.

> Furthermore, we could display the last few messages from each exchange, to help people writing clients.
Just don't try to save the messages in a database, but keep them in unstable process memory and you'll be fine.

This PR doesn't address everything in this bug, but it seems like it belongs here as part of the solution.
I'll re-add the other PR once I've rebased it on top of this one.

part 2 - adding bindings

There's a bug in the code that creates the binding objects, as commented in the PR.  Also, please add some tests (including one that specifically tests for this problem :).

Only a couple tiny things.  I rebased your commit, pushed it, and deployed it.  I forgot to actually fix the nits I pointed out, though, so I added a follow-up commit.

As I mentioned in the PR, there's a Travis failure, but it didn't seem related to your changes... I'll investigate separately.

Ah, it was actually a change in the tests that broke things, in that config variables weren't being overridden early enough.  Now that we use environment variables, though, we should probably be using those instead of directly overriding config.  Anyway that's a separate bug.
