Bridging to Message Queues

For complex realtime applications, directly managing all client connections and backend logic within a single WebSocket server can become challenging.

This lesson explores how to use message queues to bridge your WebSocket servers with other backend services, making your system more scalable and robust.

A message queue is a component that enables asynchronous communication between different parts of a system.

• Producers send messages to a queue.
• Consumers retrieve messages from a queue.
• The queue holds messages until consumers process them, decoupling senders from receivers.
