 ===================
 Messages (messages)
 ===================
+Message is sent through a queue and exists until it is deleted by a recipient
+or automatically by the system based on a TTL (time-to-live) value.
+
+All message-related operations require Client-Id to be included in the headers.
+This is to ensure that messages are not echoed back to the client that posted
+them unless the client explicitly requests this.

 Pools (pools)
 ===============
+If pooling is enabled, queuing service uses multiple queues databases in order
+to scale horizontally. A pool (queues database) can be added any time without
+stopping the service. Each pool has a weight that is assigned during the
+creation time but can be changed later. Pooling is done by queue which
+indicates that all messages for a particular queue can be found in the same
+pool (queues database).

 Queues (queues)
 ===============
+Queue is a logical entity that groups messages. Ideally a queue is created per
+work type. For example, if you want to compress files, you would create a queue
+dedicated for this job. Any application that reads from this queue would only
+compress files.
+
+Nowadays, queue in Zaqar is most like a topic, it's created lazily. User can
+post messages to a queue before creating the queue. Zaqar will create the
+queue/topic automatically.
