Kamran Ahmed ee4b7305a2 Adds ByteByteGo guides and links (#106)
This PR adds all the guides from [Visual
Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the
repository with proper links.

- [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside
`data/guides` and `data/categories`
- [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using
`scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run
update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above
mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories
and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any
future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme.
- [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides
sorting on production

How many message queues do you know?

Like a post office, a message queue helps computer programs communicate in an organized manner. Imagine little digital envelopes being passed around to keep everything on track. There are a few key features to consider when selecting message queues:

  • Speed: How fast messages are sent and received

  • Scalability: Can it grow with more messages

  • Reliability: Will it make sure messages dont get lost

  • Durability: Can it keep messages safe over time

  • Ease of Use: Is it simple to set up and manage

  • Ecosystem: Are there helpful tools available

  • Integration: Can it play nice with other software

  • Protocol Support: What languages can it speak

Try out a message queue and practice sending and receiving messages until you're comfortable. Choose an easy one like Kafka and experiment with sending and receiving messages. Read books or take online courses as you get more comfortable. Build little projects and learn from those who have already been there. Soon, you'll know everything about message queues.
