Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide
How Do I...?
Welcome
This is the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide. This section describes who should read this
guide, how the guide is organized, and other resources related to the Amazon Simple Queue Service
(Amazon SQS).
Amazon SQS offers reliable and scalable hosted queues for storing messages as they travel between
computers. By using Amazon SQS, you can move data between distributed components of your
applications that perform different tasks without losing messages or requiring each component to be
