My company have made system based on some kind of such architecture. It is parkng service for cites. You have parts of some streets where parking is allowed. That parts have name and phone number. For example Zone 1 and 9111. People use mobile phones for pay parking. They send sms message to 9111 number.
System have components that read sms messsages from mobile operaters and put them in some queue. Master reads messages from queue and give them to workers for execution. Messages are processed in parallel and it is most important. Processing one message does not depepend on another. Even more you can have lot of diffrent computers with workers that process messages.
