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

Ability to hold messages, forward to new queues or other AWS resources through CloudWatch events notification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having to manually poll queue for new messages and delete them. It is not like RabbitMQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Great product if you're looking for something to hold messages for replays and wouldn't mind manually deleting them afterwards or waiting for expiration. If you have multiple consumers, it's a great service too. But if you want to consume once and discard, you'll need to do some programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The service enables you to transmit any volume of data, at any level of throughput. Sqs provides you with a very reliable and highly available messaging cluster, While you only pay for the services you use.AWS gives you an SLA that states the required availability, and this is all you need to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS charges $0.120 per GB data transfer out and $0.01 per 10,000 Amazon SQS requests, so if you are making about million requests the cost could be on a little higher side. Also there is no option to flush a queue in AWS SQS thus if you want to start over with the queues the only option that you have is to delete your queues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

You generally don’t need to think about scaling and high availability when using a SaaS solution like SQS. AWS gives you an SLA that states the required availability, and this is all you need to worry about. If you want to run self-hosted RabbitMQ, however, the SLA guarantee is your responsibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Aws helped us a easy to use serverless architecture for our messaging service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This is very cost efficiently and high scalable. AWS manages all ongoing operations and underlying infrastructure needed to provide a highly available and scalable message queuing service. SQS lets decouple application components so that they run and fail independently, increasing the overall fault tolerance of the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS does not have a built-in job runner or an only-once delivery guarantee in the normal configuration.

You can use Lambda to run jobs from SQS, but you still have to either ensure your jobs are idempotent or add in some kind of check via another service (DynamoDB, Redis, whatever) to ensure you don't do the same work twice.

You can also use a FIFO queue, but AWS services don't necessarily support the queue working in this mode, and the throughput might not be what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Yes will recommend. It is very useful when you want to have guaranteed delivery of message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

using S3 bucket to upload images one by one was more tedious and time consuming. now with SQS, triggering uploading in Queue will be more fast and reliable to deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS is my favourite way to communicate between AWS services. I particularly like using it to trigger AWS lambda functions to process incoming data from less used api endpoints (especially since you can use it to trigger functions across AWS regions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Would be very useful to have more granular control on retry behavior after failing to reach an AWS service (e.x. Dynamo), but this can be achieved with lambdas or some other workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'd highly consider using it since it's free (as of when I last used it) when used to communicate between AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the main problems I solved was using SQS to communicate (for free) between AWS services in other AWS regions. There's not really any good/easy way to do this otherwise without exposing API endpoints to the internet in the other regions which isn't ideal (in my previous case).
