"SQS can be useful, but also has drawbacks"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

SQS is pretty universal - most AWS services capable of doing some kind of push notification can do it to SQS. Tooling for SQS is also pretty good and writing SQS clients is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SQS does not have a built-in job runner or an only-once delivery guarantee in the normal configuration.

You can use Lambda to run jobs from SQS, but you still have to either ensure your jobs are idempotent or add in some kind of check via another service (DynamoDB, Redis, whatever) to ensure you don't do the same work twice.

You can also use a FIFO queue, but AWS services don't necessarily support the queue working in this mode, and the throughput might not be what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entire step-by-step process of the tasks is duly recorded. It provides a view of all the projects that are being developed. It allows the exchange of information between users, including the inclusion of attachments (documents). It allows tracking the stage each task is at and the deadline for completion.
