Scale Your Microservices with an Easy Message Queue on Redis

Using Heroku, Redis, Node.js, and RSMQ, we’re going to create a simple yet powerful message queue. We’ll create and deploy a simple, and quick to stand up, message queue using Heroku and Reddis. This is a great stack that can get us to an event-driven architecture quickly. We introduce a level of decoupling that allows us to build, deploy, update, test, and scale those two components independently. We also reduce the workload on the web dynos. This isn't just good for the business, but it's great for user experience as well.
