Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker.

Recently, I encountered an issue where I couldn't send a message to multiple recipients. If two subscribers are subscribed to the same channel, the message can only be sent to either one of them, not both. I believe this is an area that needs improvement. So, I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient.

There is room for improvement in the performance system. Sometimes, we have to switch to another component similar to SQS because the patching tool for SQS is relatively slow for us. Recently, we had a necessity for encryption and a stronger security strategy. We faced difficulties in providing this with scalability. So, I'm not sure about the specific feature. There are good and new features related to security, secret chaining, and threat security that can be improved in the future for our clients and close customers.

There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.

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.

If you require event-driven development, there might be advanced queuing requirements that SQS can't offer. I don't think it supports transactions although I'm no expert around that. The biggest issue is likely to be cost estimations because you might get a huge bill if you're not careful.

The solution is not available on-premises so that rules out any customers looking for the messaging solution on-premises. The price is on the high end and has room for improvement.

There was an issue around message duplication at one point, which was quite bothersome because I felt like the semantics around consumption and how many times a message would be sent weren't necessarily respected. The impression I had was that we had some message duplication, I think possibly because we would start and stop the queue or disconnect the queue quite a number of times. That was probably the only issue that I ever really saw.

Their telemetry could be better. Whene we see something going wrong, we need to find out the telemetry separately. That's fine if it's just one case, however, if we have 100 services and have many queues to manage and you need to understand what's going on in your system, there are not enough tools that are available. We have to move all data and then go through a service vendor. It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues. We need to have more power to observe all that's happening. We need to rely on plugins to assist. The solution needs to be more of an all-in-one solution.

Documentation of this solution can be improved. Sometimes, the images in the document are from older versions.

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...
