Asynchronous Processing and Event-Driven Architectures

Analyze trade-offs of synchronous vs. asynchronous processing, focusing on system resilience and eventual consistency.

Explain the difference between a message queue (e.g., RabbitMQ) and a distributed log (e.g., Kafka).

Implement a producer-consumer pattern using RabbitMQ (AMQP).

Implement a basic Kafka producer and consumer in Go to publish and read messages from a topic.

Compare message delivery semantics: at-most-once, at-least-once, and exactly-once.
