Let’s queue
After a lunch break with no references to work, the team continues.
Alex: I am eager to hear more about how queues are implemented in AWS.
Raj: Happy to explain. There’s a service called Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS). In fact, this is one of the oldest services offered by AWS. But oldest doesn’t mean that no new features are being added to it; I mean to say that it has been around for a long time.
Alex: Nice.
Raj: Amazon SQS is a fully managed service. AWS operates and maintains the backend powering the queues. You just define your queue, select some settings, and use it for various purposes. You can choose to set up a standard queue or a FIFO queue.
Harold: FIFO means first-in, first-out?
Raj: Yes, that one.
Berta: But aren’t all queues working...
