Queueing

[bmonkman]

To be differentiated from:

• Streaming ( Definitely some feature overlap here. For example, NATS could cover some of it. Also Redis could cover some use cases. )
• Notification

Requirements

• Acknowledgement
• Multiple semantics? (at most once, at least once, etc. as necessary)
• High throughput
• Multiple queue processors
• Cloud native or K8s friendly

Need to set up infra and example project. Maybe when queueing feature is enabled, start the backend service in a different mode that acts as a queue, then have an example in the regular backend that sends a task to the queue.

Helix has a potential use for this. Coordinate with Phong.
