Queuing

Queues are used to collect intra-system messages and/or external events. Processing of these messages can happen sequentially or in parallel, depending on how many consumers are available to process them. Messages can also be routed to different parts of your system based on various criteria (as dictated by the queuing engine), to make sure that it is handled appropriately.

AWS provides different queues and queue-like services for different purposes:

Managed Streaming for Kafka (MSK)
Kinesis (data streams and firehose)
Amazon MQ

Keery

Sean Keery began hacking obscure video game systems at the age of 13. Sean then developed interpersonal skills while teaching snowboarding. Nowadays, Cloud Foundry, choreography, containers and plenty of .io. Cluster deployments, IaaS independence, and his studies for a master's in data science keep Sean occupied. The daily commute is filled with podcasts and chipmunk bunny hops. Some family time, spicy food, a good book, and wrecking the latest toys keep Sean busy at home.

Harber

Clive Harber has been programming computers since he was 13, when Commodore Basic was all the rage and the internet, as an idea, was something that was only just starting to appear in films such as WarGames. Fast-forward a decade, he gained a master's degree in chemical engineering from University of Wales, Swansea, which he used briefly in a stint when he worked in a semi-conductor foundry making microchips. Not being totally satisfied with this, he decided to change fields and learn how to write stuff for the internet. Now, he runs his own consultancy, Distorted Thinking, providing services to organizations that find themselves in digital transition, whether that's software changes or infrastructure to cloud service migration.
