I think the article would be a little bit more useful to non-beginners if it included an update on the modern landscape of MQs. Are people still using apache kafka lol?

it is a fine enough article as it is though!

Kafka is a distributed log system. Yes, people use Kafka as a message queue, but it's often a wrong tool for the job, it wasn't designed for that.
