Hello Michael, and thanks for your message! I understand what you mean and you've got a point! nice! Regarding CQRS, it is indeed a really interesting concept, and it also allows you to easily scale up. The issue is that it's hard to convince people as they used to the RDBMS day of thinking. > That could explain why scheduling queue messages has never been a first class citizen in any MQ so far.

Cool! Something similar can be produced, like the slides Martin Kleppmann uses in his presentations e.g. ▶ this video I didn't know if he was drawing them, or using a framework to create them. Anyone know what he uses ?
