See Deployment/Task_Queues for comparing between services, this is just a stub

  • Simplest to spin up in AWS with free tier offering 1M free messages

  • The service must be long polled for messages

  • Offers high throughput Standard "at least-once-delievery" which requeues a message if it was consumed from the queue and a visibility timeout passes

  • Can also do up to 3k message/sec when order important with SQS FIFO "exactly once delivery"

  • Base rate of 20k+/sec with more expensive options to request

  • Messages must be less than 256KiB in size, but can turn it into S3 object
