AS I said in the other post I am talking about the average and most likely use case. a flat and continuous rate of data processing and varied rates of data production. Spiking the processing is not what people think about with queues and is most likely NOT what the author of the article is talking about. Typically there's no reason why you would spike your processing unless such processing doesn't scale linearly with the amount of items processed (as the author in a sibling post to yours mentioned). Such a case must be deliberately introduced into the discussion as an exception to the model because it's not what people think about when discussing this. Or maybe it is given that 3 people brought the same exact exception up. Welp if that's the case then I can only say the author of this article and I certainly aren't referring to this use case. edit: I'm rate limited. So I'm referencing another post in my response that you won't see until the rate limit dies and I post it.
