- Queues help different parts of a system work independently. This means you can change one part without affecting the others, making updates easier.
- They improve a system's ability to handle more users at once. You can add more servers to take in requests without needing to instantly boost how fast they are processed.
- Queues also keep things running smoothly during busy times. They act like a waiting area, holding tasks so no work gets lost even if things get too hectic.
