[System Design Pulse #17] Hot Topic : How Distributed Message Queues Actually Work?
A Distributed Message Queue (DMQ) is a distributed system component that enables asynchronous communication and decoupling between various components in a distributed system. It provides a reliable and scalable way to exchange messages between producers and consumers, ensuring reliable delivery and efficient processing of messages. DMQs act as intermediaries, allowing producers to send messages to a queue and consumers to receive and process those messages at their own pace.

Introduction to Distributed Message Queues:
A Distributed Message Queue (DMQ) is a distributed system component that enables asynchronous communication and decoupling between various components in a distributed system.

Key features and benefits of using DMQs in distributed systems:
Asynchronous communication: DMQs enable decoupling between components by allowing them to communicate asynchronously. Producers can send messages without waiting for immediate responses, and consumers can process messages independently of the producers.
