The Queue has already been in production for a few months now. We do have rate limiting in place to avoid attacks and a few other barriers that a malicious attacker would have to deal with.

The queue can also shut itself down in the event of something like that happening. In this case, actions on the frontend would simply act more like "Hive.blog" and not have a queue until we eliminate the threat and redeploy.

Lightning utilizes more of a "Caching" approach to collect and serve content. This has similar protocols to the Queue database.
