What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

It is really easy to integrate, simple to use, and pay as you use. It also provides a free number of requests, so I have also used it in my projects. It has easy integration with other AWS services. It provides ease of Implementation based on the wide variety of network methods it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

It doesn't have packages to integrate with j2ee applications, like integrating a messaging queue in the standalone.xml file of a JBoss server as a messaging bean. We have packages for Active Mq or Rabbit Mq but not sqs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used it in my company for event driven architecture of our microservices. Some microservices communicated using the sqs like the notification service, logging service. We also used it to manage our transactions as messages from sqs would trigger a lambda that would perform the ledger operations and wallet operations. It is highly reliable although it is important to configure it correctly which might require some hit and trial in start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud Storage?

I am glad to welcome everyone who works and learns with the cool AWS platform. Not long ago I worked with colleagues on the YOM project - a trading platform similar to OLX (Ukraine). This is a dynamic site with a full backend and frontend, and I was faced with the task of choosing the right storage on AWS, I didn’t have a lot of time and I used Amazon S3 Standard . But after deployment and a more detailed study of storage types thanks to AWS Educate, I realized that there are much more productive and financially profitable solutions such as S3 Intelligent-Tiering, Amazon S3 Express One Zone, as well as many other types of storage for specific developer tasks.

I am very grateful to AWS Educate for the educational course AWS Educate: Getting started with storage. I recommend everyone to try it, I’m sure everyone will find many interesting courses to become a professional in working with AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
