Amazon Simple Queue Service
Fully managed message queues for microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applicationsWhat is Amazon Simple Queue Service?
✔ Decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications with a fully managed messaging queuing service.
✔ Send, store, and receive messages between software components an any volume, without losing messages or requiring other service to be available.
✔ Create Standard and FIFO (first-in-first-out) messaging queues for maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery, or processing in the exact order messages are received.
Benefits
