Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) to manage even queues for several of our internal applications. We have an application that receives and processes jobs for ad placement on different advertising platforms. These jobs are relatively critical, and reliable processing is a must. Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) provides a serverless queue to handle these requests for us as well as a target that can be tracked to keep a job status as well as capture any errors executing the job.
Pros and Cons
  • It provides an always-available serverless queue for workflows or mission-critical processes.
  • Is extremely low cost and overall costs to our environments have been negligible.
  • Scheduling options could be a bit more robust since deferred deliveries can be held for a maximum of 15 minutes currently.
  • Maximum message size limitations are not a huge hassle, but it would be nice to have the option to include larger messages with detailed log messages. This can be worked around but requires using another service such as DynamoDB to persist large messages and reference them from Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS).
Likelihood to Recommend
While we use AmazonSimple Queue Service (SQS) in our serverless applications, it would be a great option to handle queue management for any internet-connect application. It provides the most benefit in situations where your application or service must maintain mission-critical queue of messages or jobs. If you're already using other AWS services you will find the greatest benefit.
Return on Investment
  • Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) has given us the ability to manage many different processes without breaking our serverless application models.
  • Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) has allowed us to add a robust degree of reliable job processing without any measurable added cost.
Support Rating

While we haven't had very many issues with Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) that required us to contact AWS support, the response has always been timely and helpful.

Amazon SQS : Best queue service with great configuration

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SQS service is under use at the company level, to handle the different application-level requirements. We mostly use it to decouple different level of modules so that we can provide an efficient solution to the end user.
Pros and Cons
  • Provides very good support for asynchronous processes.
  • Hosted in the cloud, which supports HIPPA complaints.
  • Options for a FIFO and Standard queue, so anyone can choose on the base of their requirements.
  • Has an add-on functionality of configurable parameters, like Delivery Delay, Default Visibility Timeout, Message Retention Period, Receive Message Wait Time, etc.
  • Almost all of the functionality has been covered by SQS, but they could improve the throughput time.
  • Also, they could provide built-in Cloud Watch, so that we can easily configure it without any external efforts.
Likelihood to Recommend
We needed an application where we could communicate between asynchronous modules, and we needed a reliable solution where we could upload data under the HIPPA compliance, and Amazon SQS is the best fit.
Return on Investment
  • Under the AWS Echo system, it provides great operating power to the application.
  • The cost is much less for messages, and it also supports a multi-user option.
  • Not for us, but for a larger organization, low throughput might become an issue for a standard queue type.
Alternatives Considered
The reason for the choice is due to maintenance needs and HIPPA compliance, as well as the great options under the AWS ecosystem, with very useful configurable parameters.
