Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a secure, durable, and available hosted queue so you can integrate and decouple distributed software systems and components.
Amazon SQS provides:
- Common constructs such as dead-letter queues and cost allocation tags.
- Generic web service APIs that can be accessed by any programming language that the AWS SDK supports.
Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
