In this video of the AWS series, I will discuss Amazon SQS (Simple queuing system).
Amazon SQS (or Simple Queue Service) is a fully managed serverless queuing service provided by AWS.
SQS provides two types of message queue, standard, and FIFO.
Standard queue provides best-effort ordering, at least once delivery of the message with maximum throughput.
FIFO as the name suggests guarantee order of message.
Advantages of SQS
No administrative overhead as AWS manages everything.
SQS provides server-side encryption should we need secure communication across services.
SQS automatically scales out based on demand.
SQS provides reliable delivery of messages irrespective of load.
