If the downstream service is slow, the caller blocks. If it is down, the caller fails.</p> <p>A message queue breaks that coupling by placing an asynchronous buffer between the two. The producer writes a message and moves on immediately. The consumer reads it whenever it is ready.</p> <p>This decoupling is what makes queues one of the most common components in large-scale system design.</p>
