A question for engineering leaders: How do you balance asynchronous background worker queues (for email notifications, feed fan-out, and media optimization) with real-time UI responsiveness?

We found that decoupling event ingestion from feed fan-out reduced database contention by over 70%. Never make your users wait for heavy background tasks in the web request cycle!
