Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)
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.
- 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.
- 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.
