I like this essay but I think it is very strange that he doesn't link to the talk that Zach Tellman gave in which Tellman talks about the origins of Factual's Durable Queues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bNOO3xxMc0 Factual's Durable Queues are a fairly minimal queue effort that is useful in cases where you need some minimal way of handling back pressure, because a service downstream has failed. In his talk, Tellman talks about the fact that he needed to write a lot of data to AWS S3, and sometimes S3 stops accepting writes, so he needed an easy re-try mechanism. I used Durable Queues everywhere in my code and find it very handy. It's useful when you need a very minimal queue that still has the backing of a file system.
