SQS

Amazon Simple Queue Service

Definition

Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that decouples and scales microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. Standard queues offer maximum throughput with best-effort ordering, while FIFO queues guarantee strict ordering and exactly-once processing.

SQS integrates natively with Lambda, EC2, and ECS for scalable consumer patterns.
