Wrote something on the history & future of message queues. I spoke with a lot of smart folks for this RedMonk post including Alexis Richardson, Andrew Schofield, Andy Stanford-Clark, & Clemens Vasters. I also tackled some difficult questions like: - Why did the idea of MQs emerge? - Is Kafka a queue? - Are databases & data platforms like Redis replacing MQs?
Kate what a great paper 👏 ... Given the 🚀 growth of the NATS.io adoption & ecosystem I don't think we need to worry about any perceived decline in the value of messaging technologies.

5d💯 Excellent historical perspective Kate Holterhoff, Ph.D. We also explored this evolution in our recent paper, tracing distributed architectures and their messaging systems from RPC to modern Edge use cases (including Edge AI) with NATS.io handling decentralized, real-time processing. Would love to hear your thoughts: https://www.synadia.com/lp/nomadic-apps-manifesto-form
