Case Study of AWS SQS

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a secure, durable, and available hosted queue that lets you integrate and decouple distributed software systems and components. Amazon SQS offers common constructs such as dead-letter queues and cost allocation tags. It provides a generic web services API that you can access using any programming language that the AWS SDK supports.

Benefits of Amazon SQS

• Security — You control who can send messages to and receive messages from an Amazon SQS queue. Server-side encryption (SSE) lets you transmit sensitive data by protecting the contents of messages in queues using keys managed in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
• Durability — For the safety of your messages, Amazon SQS stores them on multiple servers. Standard queues support at-least-once message delivery, and FIFO queues support exactly-once message processing.
• Availability — Amazon SQS uses redundant infrastructure to provide highly-concurrent access to messages and high availability for producing and consuming messages.
• Scalability — Amazon SQS can process each buffered request independently, scaling transparently to handle any load increases or spikes without any provisioning instructions.
• Reliability — Amazon SQS locks your messages during processing, so that multiple producers can send and multiple consumers can receive messages at the same time.
• Customization — Your queues don’t have to be exactly alike — for example, you can set a default delay on a queue. You can store the contents of messages larger than 256 KB using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Amazon DynamoDB, with Amazon SQS holding a pointer to the Amazon S3 object, or you can split a large message into smaller messages.

Case Studies of Amazon SQS

AWS SQS in BMW-

The BMW Group is using AWS for its new BMW 7 series cars to give drivers dynamically updated map information. BMW built its new car-as-a-sensor (CARASSO) service in only six months using Amazon Simple Storage Service ( Amazon S3 ) , Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS ) and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

BMW uses SQS for decoupling Receiver and Worker. The receiver keeps on adding messages to the SQS and Worker continuously polls the data and processes it and stores this data into the RDS database and MApData.

AWS SQS in NASA-

The NASA Image and Video Library provides easy access to more than 140,000 still images, audio recordings, and videos — documenting NASA’s more than half a century of achievements in exploring the vast unknown. The architecture includes Amazon SQS to decouple incoming jobs from pipeline processes and Amazon Simple Notification Service to trigger the processing pipeline when new content is updated.
