Moving from stuffing side-effects into endpoints to event-based systems improves reliability and performance. Key practices include using thin task packets with minimal data, implementing idempotent task functions that can handle retries, maintaining backup scheduling mechanisms, and proper logging throughout the process. Queue systems provide persistent storage and retry capabilities, reducing error rates from compounding side-effect failures.
