Distributed Workflows at Scale
Queues are a pattern that have been used at Tickr since the early days of the company. Much of the work we do at Tickr is in the background: data retrieval, alerting, processing incoming webhooks, and many more activities that don’t follow the typical request-response pattern found in many typical applications.
