Durable Objects aren't just durable, they're fast: a 10x speedup for Cloudflare Queues

Cloudflare has announced that its Queues service is now generally available, with significant performance improvements. The new architecture for Queues enables a median latency of ~60ms for sending messages and increases the maximum throughput for each Queue to over 10x, from 400 to 5000 messages per second. Additionally, the maximum Consumer concurrency for each Queue has increased from 20 to 250 concurrent invocations. The improvements were achieved by switching to a new architecture that uses Durable Objects and the Cloudflare Developer Platform.
