I really don't get message queues. Why can't they just reroute all traffic on a port to the queue? https://gist.github.com/yoshuawuyts/e893f5d0e1a1a86a86b1 …

@yoshuawuyts I'm pretty oblivious to how message queues work tho; I get the theory behind it, never seen it used in practice.
perhaps I haven't seen message queues used (effectively) in practice because they're often kind of clunky?

I would want a message queue to be non-invasive; but perhaps that's impossible b/c how TCP works. Just capture ports. idk. Any examples?

@yoshuawuyts you want either idempotency or reliable processing tracking. It's a big design imposition, affects app semantics. - 4 more replies

@yoshuawuyts queues usually require client to speak the queue protocol and expose any additional functionality. -
