IMHO, message queues were all the hype at the time because cloud was picking up steam and people discovered how to decouple and handle massive loads. For the blog posts, most were garbage(and still are) if my memory serves right. I recall reading a lot of blog posts and all of those were basically a different derivative of same “quick-start tutorial” that you would find on any decently documented piece of software. Once you delve into the real trenches, the blog posts start showing their limits immediately and the shallowness of the depth. That all being said, message queues are very crucial part of most complex systems these days, same as your typical tools(containers, git, your language of choice etc.), it has moved onto mature and boring.
