A buffering mechanism that stores messages before delivery, improving reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance during traffic spikes.
Why Message Queue Matters
The sender and the part that delivers rarely run at the same speed. A message queue sits between them, so a spike in submissions is absorbed instead of overwhelming a downstream route, and a component that is briefly down does not lose the messages sent to it.
How Message Queue Works
Producers write messages to the queue and consumers read and process them at their own pace, acknowledging each one when done. If a consumer fails before acknowledging, the message goes back for another attempt. Broker software such as RabbitMQ or Kafka provides this, and it lets you add consumers to raise throughput.
How SMPPCenter Uses This
Messaging platforms are built around queues so bursts are smoothed before dispatch. For how queuing behaves on an SMPPCenter send, including per-route throughput, see the Queue entry.
