Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out the best strategy for handling background jobs in our system. We've got a bunch of tasks like sending emails, processing images, and generating reports that don't need to be done immediately. I've been looking into using a message queue, but I'm not sure when it really becomes the right tool. Are there specific thresholds or types of tasks where a queue starts to add more complexity than benefit? Curious to hear your experiences and what signals you look for before introducing a queue for this purpose.
