Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) vs. IBM Astra Streaming

If you are looking to build something that just requires a simple queue service (as the name implies) this is great for it. You might look elsewhere though if you get into more complicated needs. This is also very well suited if you are already using other services with AWS and intend to fully build whatever you are building in AWS. If you are looking for a mixed environment -- SQS is not for you

The most comparable products are RabbitMQ, and perhaps ActiveMQ. Until recently, AWS did not offer a managed ActiveMQ product. Running RabbitMQ will never be to my team's competitive advantage; we wanted a managed service.

• In my personal opinion, I can mention that this product has enormous positive points because it has worked really well for us in our organization in a very positive way, for which we ourselves feel quite comfortable with this product.
