Answer from AI
A queue is justified in a project when it is necessary to:
- Ensure asynchronous processing of tasks to avoid blocking the main thread (for example, sending emails, processing images).
- Unload the system during peak loads by storing tasks in the queue for sequential processing.
- Guarantee reliable message delivery between system components.
- Organize interaction between microservices, where one service places tasks in the queue and another processes them.
Example: in an online store, when placing an order, a task can be put in the queue to send a notification, so as not to delay the response to the user and to handle email sending separately.
