| Unlimited Throughput – Standard queues support a nearly unlimited number of API calls per second, per API action (SendMessage, ReceiveMessage, or DeleteMessage). At-Least-Once Delivery – A message is delivered at least once, but occasionally more than one copy of a message is delivered. Best-Effort Ordering – Occasionally, messages are delivered in an order different from which they were sent. |
High Throughput – If you use , FIFO queues support up to 3,000 messages per second, per API method (SendMessageBatch, ReceiveMessage, or DeleteMessageBatch). The 3000 messages per second represent 300 API calls, each with a batch of 10 messages. To request a quota increase, . Without batching, FIFO queues support up to 300 API calls per second, per API method (SendMessage, ReceiveMessage, or DeleteMessage). Exactly-Once Processing – A message is delivered once and remains available until a consumer processes and deletes it. Duplicates aren't introduced into the queue. First-In-First-Out Delivery – The order in which messages are sent and received is strictly preserved. |
| Send data between applications when the throughput is important, for example:
-
Decouple live user requests from intensive background work: let users upload media while resizing or encoding it.
-
Allocate tasks to multiple worker nodes: process a high number of credit card validation requests.
-
Batch messages for future processing: schedule multiple entries to be added to a database.
|
Send data between applications when the order of events is important, for example:
-
Make sure that user-entered commands are run in the right order.
-
Display the correct product price by sending price modifications in the right order.
-
Prevent a student from enrolling in a course before registering for an account.
