What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

The major thing I dislike about the deletion of messages on UI part, you have to poll the messages and then there is not select all button to delete all the messages at one go. Although there's a purge option but that I realized much later on. So, there should be an option to select all the messages after polling them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

Since the application is not hosted on a specific server, it also reduces the risk of not having to rely on a single machine to do all the application serving and code execution - if one machine goes down, AWS handles the switch automatically. and the code loses nothing.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

During development, it occasionally generates many fake messages. I have to write a small application to delete all messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reduction of the execution cost.

pay only for the computing costs that the code uses. charged per millisecond of CPU time instead of a flat rate and usage-based scale. No more having to worry about instance scaling or having to worry about growing the instance or a web server.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

It is very simple to use. You create the queue, send the messages. Then open the queue and read the messages. The retention is configurable and the delivery just works. You don't have to stand up any infrastructure to use the system or manage the rate or load. Just use the tools provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

Sometimes the latency is unpredictable. The SQS worker for beanstalk really felt like a tinker-toy. We used it for a short while and then built our own worker with much better results. The max message size can be too small. Alternate solutions of storing a larger message in S3 and then sending a notification about it add extra overhead that could be avoided with larger messages.
