BEST PRACTICES FOR MESSAGE QUEUE SERVICES IN DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Keywords:
Message Queue Systems, Distributed Computing, System Reliability, Data Processing, Performance OptimizationAbstract
This comprehensive article explores best practices for implementing message queue services in distributed systems, focusing on key aspects including idempotency, message durability, acknowledgment protocols, message ordering, monitoring, scaling, security considerations, performance optimization, retry logic, error handling, and fallback mechanisms. The article examines various implementation strategies across different messaging systems, analyzing their effectiveness in maintaining system reliability, scalability, and performance. The article draws insights from multiple real-world deployments and academic research, presenting findings on how different architectural approaches and design patterns contribute to building robust distributed messaging systems. The investigation covers both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, providing a thorough understanding of how message queues serve as critical components in modern distributed architectures.
