Message Queues

Why is it not recommended to transfer large amounts of data (like audio or video) through celery (rabbit, etc. message queues)?

Answer 1

Because message brokers are not very good at this. In general, this can be done (after setting up the broker), but the system performance will drop so much that your next question will be: "Why does it slow down so much?" Brokers are usually expected to have a minimal response, so they try to keep messages as short as possible.
