Queuing Mechanism

• Say you have a constant stream of traffic to a http call
• On success response, do nothing
• On error response, we want to kick off a process
  • real life example to compare to is invalidating a cache after a decoding error
• To avoid traffic building and performing the same function, potentially building up memory issues, instead we want to:
  • create queueing mechanism
  • when queue contains 1 message, kick off function. once this function is complete, flush the queue
  • when queue now contains more than 1 message, assume the process is still ongoing and do nothing
