Amazon Simple Queue Service Message Icon

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that makes it easy to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. It allows you to send, store, and receive messages between different software components, improving the reliability and scalability of your applications. Think of it as a virtual post office for your application: components drop messages into queues, and other components retrieve them as needed, even if the sending and receiving components are unavailable at the same time.
