How can I effectively handle errors in message queues?

Handling errors in message queues involves implementing retries, dead-letter queues, and logging.

What are dead-letter queues and how do they work?

Dead-letter queues are used to store messages that cannot be processed after a certain number of attempts.

Can you give me an example of a retry strategy?

A common retry strategy is exponential backoff, where the wait time increases after each failed attempt.

What tools can I use for monitoring message queues?

You can use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or specific message queue monitoring solutions like RabbitMQ Management.
