Introduction

SQS(Simple Queueing Service)

Fact: This was the very first AWS service to be made public.

Amazon SQS provides a reliable, simple-to-manage, and scalable queueing service. SQS can be used as a cloud application that is simple and inexpensive.

AWS SQS can transmit any amount data at any throughput level without losing any messages.

SQS reduces admirative tasks by scaling highly-available messaging clusters. We only pay for what we actually use. AWS SQS allows us to save critical data that could be lost in the event of an application's downtime or when a component goes out of service.

SQS acts as a buffer between application components that receive data and other parts that process it in the system.

SQS can be used to implement message-oriented architecture. The work is held in queue until the processing server can process it. This ensures that work is not lost because of insufficient resources.

Amazon SQS default ensures that every message is delivered at the minimum of once
