AWS SQS Insights

What is AWS SQS?

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS allows you to send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be always available. It is commonly used for tasks such as order processing, asynchronous task execution, and decoupling application components.
