What is Amazon Simple Queue Service?
✔ Decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications with a fully managed messaging queuing service.
✔ Send, store, and receive messages between software components an any volume, without losing messages or requiring other service to be available.
✔ Create Standard and FIFO (first-in-first-out) messaging queues for maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery, or processing in the exact order messages are received.
Benefits

Deliver messages reliably
Secure sensitive data
Scale to meet demand
Leverage AWS to dynamically scale based on demand and pay only for what you use, which provides significant cost saving versus the “always-on” model.
