The idea is that you take the kind of work that you want to do, you throw it on a message queue and then some workers are going to pick it up and work on it. So this is sort of the typical reasons, like you rather than doing a thing right now, you want to postpone this problem for a little bit later or very much later. In recent years, quite popular design element has become building ridiculous tiny microservices. And so message shows can be a really good way to sort of make them talk to each other in one form or another.
In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Armin Ronacher about his contributions to open source, queues and messaging in apps, scaling up a queue, and how it all works at Sentry.
