'It gives you a buffer, but only if you actively manage it.' 100%, otherwise it's just wasted resources.

Exactly; without ownership, that buffer turns into a silent backlog.

You're burning storage and trust at the same time.

Thanks, Neo!

Great post, Raul. Having a DLQ without having these fixes defeats the purpose of the DLQ itself.

And you're spot on, a DLQ without ownership, monitoring, or a replay path is just a silent backlog.

It’s only useful if it drives action.
