Abstract
We stumble upon software in our everyday life, from handheld mobile devices to intelligent components of a smart home all the way to big machines we employ for regular daily tasks. As a software engineer, you get to see your work being used in every aspect of life. As interesting and energizing as it might sound, it has its own problems that one needs to tackle. The same products that help millions “achieve more” could someday cease to function due to a bug. Even worse, that bug might be an attempt to hijack the system for illegal activity. A lot of the software deployed to production follows poor design architecture, gets published in non-tested environments, or is being used by customers who are unaware of the socially engineered risks of software exploitation. Software packages are no longer just executable files sent to a customer upon receipt of payment. Software packages have become more Internet-based, agile, adaptable, accessible, and intelligent.

Message queues are used in different aspects of your solutions. They are used with serverless applications to process the messages on demand by a serverless job/function.
