## Intent
|
2017-08-31 01:50:33 +05:30
|
|
|
Event Queue is a good pattern if You have a limited accessibility resource (for example:
|
2017-04-22 17:16:38 +02:00
|
|
|
Audio or Database), but You need to handle all the requests that want to use that.
|
|
|
|
|
It puts all the requests in a queue and process them asynchronously.
|
|
|
|
|
Gives the resource for the event when it is the next in the queue and in same time
|
|
|
|
|
removes it from the queue.
