+In-process queue
+----------------
+
+For simple applications that need to be able to consume and act on multiple
+messages at one, an in-process queue can be leveraged::
+
+    MAX_WORKERS = os.cpu_count()
+
+    queue = asyncio.Queue(MAX_WORKERS)
+
+    async def consumer_handler(websocket):
+        async for message in websocket:
+            await queue.put(message)
+
+    async def worker(websocket):
+        while True:
+            message = await queue.get()
+            result = await long_running_task(message)
+            await websocket.send(result)
+
+    async def handler(websocket):
