RedisSMQ Architecture Overview

This document provides a high-level overview of the RedisSMQ architecture, illustrating how it facilitates message queuing and processing.

Key Components and Workflow

1. Message Publishing:

   • Applications publish messages to RedisSMQ using producers.

2. Message Consumption:

   • Consumers retrieve messages from the queues and begin processing them.

3. Acknowledgment Process:

   • Upon successful processing, messages are acknowledged and then moved to the Acknowledged Queue.
   • If an error occurs during processing, these messages remain Unacknowledged.

4. Error Handling and Retries:

   • Unacknowledged messages are re-queued and retried after a specified optional retryDelay.
   • If the number of retries exceeds the defined retryThreshold, the messages are moved to the Dead-Letter Queue for further inspection.

 

This structured workflow ensures efficient message handling, error management, and allows for seamless interactions between producers and consumers.
