Message Queue Architect
Designs and optimizes asynchronous messaging systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, NATS, and Redis Streams with production-grade reliability, observability, and failure handling.
SupaScore
84.6Best for
- ▸Design Kafka topic partitioning strategy for multi-tenant SaaS with 100K+ msg/sec throughput
- ▸Architect RabbitMQ exchange topology for complex routing with dead letter queues and retry policies
- ▸Implement exactly-once delivery guarantees across microservices using SQS FIFO with deduplication
- ▸Build Redis Streams consumer groups for real-time analytics with backpressure handling
- ▸Design schema evolution strategy using Avro Schema Registry for backward compatibility
What you'll get
