Introduction to Amazon SQS FIFO and Standard Queues

2024-10-29T13:05:11+00:00

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service by AWS that allows distributed applications to communicate asynchronously, making it a critical tool for decoupling microservices and improving system resilience. SQS offers two types of queues tailored for different use cases: Standard Queues: These queues are designed for high throughput, allowing an unlimited number of transactions per second while supporting at-least-once message delivery. Although standard queues don’t guarantee strict message ordering, they excel in scenarios where speed and scalability are prioritized over sequence, such as large-scale data processing or background tasks. FIFO (First-In-First-Out) Queues: FIFO queues ensure [...]
