Choose between queues and streams, and configure ordering, consumer groups, and dead letters correctly. Use when introducing async messaging or debugging lost, duplicated, or reordered messages.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Message queues Queues distribute work (each message consumed once, then gone); streams record facts (each message read by many, retained). Most messaging pain comes from using one where the other fits. ## Method 1. **Pick the model from the consumption pattern.** One consumer pool doing jobs: queue (SQS, RabbitMQ). Multiple independent readers, replay, event history: stream/log (Kafka, Kinesis, Redpanda). "We might need replay later" is how queues get misused; be honest about whether messages are commands or events. 2. **Scope ordering to a key, or drop it.** Global ordering caps throughput at one consumer. Order per entity (partition key = order_id) covers real needs: same entity in sequence, entities in parallel. With plain queues, do not rely on FIFO-ish behavior; retries reorder. Consumers discard stale updates via sequence numbers. 3. **Design consumer groups around partitions.** In streams, one partition serves one consumer per group: more consumers than partitions idle; hot keys skew load. Pick partition counts with 2-3x headroom and keys with even cardinality; rebalancing pauses the …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/message-queues@sha256:91c948098aee9123The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.1dc980e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
