Introduction to Queue-Based Distribution
Explore the fundamentals of queue-based distribution using Python. Understand how queues and workers interact to handle jobs asynchronously, enabling horizontal scaling and improved throughput. Learn why this approach is valuable for distributed systems and how to implement it effectively using tools like RQ and Celery.

As described, for example, in the lesson on Asynchronous HTTP API, it is not always possible or the best approach to synchronously reply to a client request. Sometimes, the best response is to accept a job and promise to execute it later.
Implementing a distributed system using queues is a trade-off, improving throughput with the drawback of increased latency. ...
