  LavinMQ UI shows queues consumed by slack_notifications_consumer

Inspiration

The necessity to have a working notification system to bind a consumer to each queue.

What it does

Ideally, each consumer receives messages from the queue it’s bound to and broadcasts the message received to the users.

How we built it

Because we have three queues, three methods were created to subscribe to messages in hr, marketing, and support queues.

Challenges we ran into

Modifying the consumer script to accept one of three command line arguments: hr, marketing, or support was tricky to accomplish the task.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Simulated a scenario where the consumer subscribes to messages in the hr, marketing, and support queues.

What we learned

Learned how to create a 1-to-1 mapping between queues and consumers.

What's next for slack notifications system
