Pros
"I appreciate that Amazon SQS is fully integrated with Amazon and can be accessed through normal functions or serverless functions, making it very user-friendly. Additionally, the features are comparable to those of other solutions.""With SQS, we can trigger events in various cloud environments. It offers numerous benefits for us.""The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is the interface.""I am able to find out what's going on very easily.""The libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features.""It's very quick and easy to build or set up Amazon SQS.""One of the useful features is the ability to schedule a call after a certain number of messages accumulate in the container. For example, if there are ten messages in the container, you can perform a specific action.""SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features."

Cons
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.""Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker.""The solution is not available on-premises so that rules out any customers looking for the messaging solution on-premises.""The current visibility timeout of five minutes is okay. However, I'd like to explore the possibility of extending it for specific use cases.""I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient.""As a company that uses IBM solutions, it's difficult to compare Amazon SQS to other solutions. We have been using IBM solutions for a long time and they are very mature in integration and queuing. In my role as an integration manager, I can say that Amazon SQS is designed primarily for use within the Amazon ecosystem and does not have the same level of functionality as IBM MQ or other similar products. It has limited connectivity options and does not easily integrate with legacy systems.""Sometimes, we have to switch to another component similar to SQS because the patching tool for SQS is relatively slow for us.""It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues."

    Overview

    Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS eliminates the complexity and overhead associated with managing and operating message oriented middleware, and empowers developers to focus on differentiating work. Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. Get started with SQS in minutes using the AWS console, Command Line Interface or SDK of your choice, and three simple commands.

    SQS offers two types of message queues. Standard queues offer maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery. SQS FIFO queues are designed to guarantee that messages are processed exactly once, in the exact order that they are sent.

    To respond to business demands quickly and efficiently, you need a way to integrate the applications and data spread across your enterprise. Red Hat JBoss A-MQ—based on the Apache ActiveMQ open source project—is a flexible, high-performance messaging platform that delivers information reliably, enabling real-time integration and connecting the Internet of Things (IoT).

    Red Hat JBoss A-MQ for xPaaS extends the capabilities to our Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution, Red Hat OpenShift, for messaging services in the cloud.
