Never have I imagined enjoying learning task queues and message brokers to a whole new level. Thanks LJ!

Great article! This is how every conversation with the business should happen. Discussions about the problem, the business value to the customer, and then finally the solution flows so smoothly. As a whole I think we try to jump to building solutions first. I know that wasn't the intent of the article but just thought I would give you some kudos on accomplishing an unintended benefit.

Hi Matt! Sorry for the late reply, thank you so much and I definitely agree with you.
When communicating to business users, it's important to start with the value-add, then the solution/details coming next. With that framework, business can easily "map" why we're doing these architectural decisions as we start explaining our technical decisions.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much, Lj Miranda~
I instantly went to celery site but didn't dig it but got it after reading your article.

I appreciate it, glad you liked the illustrations. I'm still working on it! Ideally I should be making a distill every month, but life got in the way and I want to make sure they're of "quality" hehe.

Thank you Sung Kim, I had the same problem. Good thing the very patient engineers in our office explained it to me, then I got this Mcdonalds analogy while ordering food! Glad you found this helpful :)

This is amazing. I can actually visualise the concepts clearly. I had doubts previously but now i am quite confident what these technologies are. Thanks :)

Thanks a lot for your article. It is very clear to understand all the three concepts. Do you recommend any resources to start with after your blogpost.

I appreciate that, glad it was helpful. Thank you Indranil!

It depends on your goal, if you feel confident enough to get the intuition from my blogpost, I highly recommend that you jump right into the docs and try implementing a task queue yourself! :)

Hey Miranda,
This is awesome , I am giving a talk to a local community this Tuesday about

My recents struggle with Python and how Celery and Redis comes to my rescue

, I would like to use this as reference material, and borrow some pictures from it. Would you mind giving me the permission?

Hey LJ,
Your article is too good. I liked the diagrams/figures that you included in the article, must have taken a lot of effort. Could you share how you created them ?

[ljvmiranda921]

Comment written by Lj Miranda on 10/21/2020 10:38:29

Hi om0127! I just used Inkscape, it's free!
