Amazon SQS was created in 2004 by Amazon Web Services as one of its first cloud infrastructure services. It was developed to address the need for a reliable, scalable message queuing system that could decouple components of a cloud application, allowing them to communicate asynchronously and scale independently.
Amazon SQS
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables decoupling and scaling of microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. It allows users to send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume without losing messages or requiring other services to be available.
