FIFO Queue

First-In, First-Out Queue

Definition

A FIFO queue guarantees that messages are processed exactly once and in the strict order they were sent. Unlike standard queues that offer best-effort ordering and at-least-once delivery, FIFO queues prevent duplicate processing and maintain sequence — critical for financial transactions, order management, and workflow orchestration.

AWS SQS FIFO queues and Azure Service Bus support FIFO semantics.
