Distributed message queues HLD

In hld of distributed message queues, we use something called front end servers, but typically front end servers are used for UI interactions; in this context, are we referring these frontend service to an intermediary layer b/w producer and consumer, or are we referring to UI interactions?

Hi @Vipin_Singh !!
In the context of a distributed messaging queue, when we mention “front-end servers,” we are not referring to servers responsible for user interface (UI) interactions. Instead, we are using the term “front-end” to describe an intermediary layer that handles the communication and interactions between producers and consumers of messages in the messaging system. These front-end servers play a crucial role in routing and managing messages within the distributed messaging queue infrastructure, and their function is distinct from UI-related front-end servers commonly used in web applications.
I hope it helps. Happy Learning :blush:
