Queues, publish/subscribe services, and event buses are important parts of a resilient, well-architected serverless application. These are provided in AWS by SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.

This post was written by Christian Kniep, Senior Developer Advocate for HPC and AWS Batch.  For HPC workloads, visibility into the logs of jobs is important to debug a job which failed, but also to have insights into a running job and track its trajectory to influence the configuration of the next job or terminate […]

Messaging is an important part of serverless applications and AWS services provide queues, publish/subscribe, and event routing capabilities. This post reviews the main features of SNS, SQS, and EventBridge and how they provide different capabilities for your workloads.
