What is a distributed message queue?

Why do we use messaging queue?

Message queues enable asynchronous communication, which means that the endpoints that are producing and consuming messages interact with the queue, not each other. Producers can add requests to the queue without waiting for them to be processed. Consumers process messages only when they are available.

How do messaging queues work?

To send a message, a component called a producer adds a message to the queue. The message is stored on the queue until another component called a consumer retrieves the message and does something with it. Many producers and consumers can use the queue, but each message is processed only once, by a single consumer.
