What is SQS

SQS-stands for Simple Queue Service-is a service operated by AWS to handle queueing of messages. One service sends messages in a queue and another service receives those messages.

SQS frees developers from the worries of setting up and managing a queue structure as a managed service.

Another common use for queues is to handle malfunctions in the scalability of services.

If the message is not removed after the timeout duration of visibility, it will go back to the queue and will be received in future requests.
