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 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 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.

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.

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.
