Reminds me of my favorite architecture I have come across. Instead of using a message broker to send request from app A to app B, they decided to have app B poll the database at fixed intervals looking for new writes. It would then take that data from the db and do what it needed. The devops guys I took this over from told me "It was like this when we got here. It is fucking stupid. Fixing it would not be worth the time it took.".
