Tax-notice producers spike overnight while consumers process steadily by day. Where should the backlog live, and what still must run the business logic?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The inbox holds the mail; someone still has to open each letter. Queue stores the backlog. A Function or OKE worker does the work—config blobs are not an inbox.
Full Explanation
OCI Queue decouples producers and consumers that run at different rates by storing durable messages until delete or retention. Compute still must poll or otherwise consume: Oracle Functions, an OKE Deployment, or any REST/STOMP client. Function configuration and Vault secrets are not substitutes for a work queue when thousands of items must buffer.
