Enhancing Distributed Systems with Message Queues: Architecture, Benefits, and Best Practices

Abstract

Message queues form an essential element of current distributed systems by supporting asynchronous communication as well as workload distribution and system separation. Message queues support cloud-based and enterprise applications by providing essential scalability, fault tolerance, and operational efficiency. The study examines the basic principles of message queues while examining their structural elements and implementation advantages. We explore practical applications and evaluate top messaging systems such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWS SQS..
