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

The simplicity and ease of use. We use SNS and SQS for a majority of our basic event-oriented messaging patterns, implementing simple EIP with it. The API is straight-forward, reliable, and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The console could benefit from being able to do more advanced name searches. At the moment only "starts with" is supported, which is annoying when the queue name contains a very complex or long naming convention. A search such as that used by S3 would be a major improvement.

Clients for SQS consumption are a bit limited. As a primarily Java shop we're using the open source JMS adapter bridge but this library is losing activity. It would be great to see subscription and JMS capabilities built straight into the Java SDK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Enterprise integration patterns for messaging, e.g. publish/subscribe, filtering, etc. We use SNS + SQS for roughly 90% of our messaging needs between our microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS was very easy to set up and start using. The console provides much more insight into what's happening in our queues than our previous queue usage. We have a far easier time extracting metrics out of SQS for use in monitoring and alarms, and our primary alert criteria for our data ingest processes are built around monitoring SQS queues for stalled throughput. Our previous queues, which we managed ourselves, kept going down, so the high availability is a big positive for us as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a little strange that you can't see the content of messages in flight or, without pulling them out of the queue temporarily, messages that are available. Often when we have failures in consumption, it would be good to see from the queue side what the error-proximate message is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We replaced self-managed queues (primarily Redis) with SQS due to availability. We used these first as the backend queue service for Celery applications, but have since extended this to task distribution in other environments that we have had to build ourselves. We use these primarily within our data ingest processes, but with the new builds, we are incorporating them into ad hoc reporting requests that create many small jobs that can be parallelized and cached, and the SQS model works well for this task management.

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

The reliability guarantees are the main sticking point for us. Ease of configuration, (almost set and forget). Many libraries have native integration with SQS, such as Spring boot, which is what we're using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The default integration support with Spring boot has issues. We encountered problems when 503 errors were returned by SQS that caused the JMS listener configured by Spring boot to disconnect permanently. This caused out EC2 instances to jump to 100% cpu. The issues in Springboot are probably a bug in springboot, but we were unable to find out any information on where the spike of 503 errors came from.

The max queue length is something like 120k events. We are ingesting around 10k events per minute, this means that in an incident where we cease to process events, we have 12 mins before losing customer data. Suggest a way to increase the queue limit through the AWS console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS):

No brainer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use SQS to pass messages from web server nodes to worker nodes. This streamlines the workload on our webserver nodes and provides a predictable workload for worker nodes.

We use SQS to ingest messages for processing from other services in the network. We have noticed that in an incident where we were unable to process messages, we did not lose any data, as the queue was able to retain a backlog of messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

scalability and ease of setup; also it can be accessed from multiple boxes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

there are performance issues when you try to repeatidly access it quickly on a single box; when i autoscale two or more ec2 instances at the same time to process a queue, they all end up getting the same message first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ETL; loading millions of files at once; SQS helps us scale our ingestion boxes and process all the files in the queue; also like the deadletter queues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The setup was really really fast, as it's a simple service, also the redundancy of the messages don't let them disappear which is really cool as many times before we didn't had a solution for it. TIme is money my friends, try it you won't regret it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing really to dislike. For this price this is the best value/price service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS):

Don't waste your time. If you are searching for a good value product this will be the best choice. Time is money friends! Also if you want to get a product which easy to setup and to administrate and meanwhile redundant too, this is what your searched for. Try it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No more lost messages, way much easier administration and for sure data is all the day secure, which is important because of the new gdpr. Also it has the best value/price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Moving data between distributed application components and decouple these components. I also liked the scaling of microservices because nowadays there is no application without usage of microservices. This feature is like really helpful. I also like the security and durability it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I do not dislike anything about Amazon Simple Queue Service. But for a starter with no knowledge of AWS it takes little time to understand these features. Otherwise Amazon SQS is really a good service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS):

I would recommend to try Amazon SQS because it is highly scalable and durable. I would also recommend using tags to categorize their queues, so they can easily identify their purpose and track their costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Business problems such as moving data between distributed application components, scaling microservices are solved using Amazon SQS. Time Saving and data security are main benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simple (as in the name) with easy-to-use APIs. I used boto3 and Java client lib to access the service and was able to implement a messaging protocol including formats and unit tests between python & Java services in about a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS uses a long-poll approach (as far as I can tell) so there is a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS):

Build a facade library to hide messaging details. This allows you to confirm your low-level queueing logic is correct and allows you to decouple the transport from apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows me to process documents submitted through a gateway to backend services. SQS makes it easy to build pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
