description Amazon SQS Overview

Simple Queue Service (SQS) is the industry standard for decoupling microservices. It allows different parts of an application to communicate asynchronously by placing messages onto a queue. This means that if one service fails or slows down, the other service can continue operating, and the message will wait reliably in the queue until the consumer is ready, drastically improving system resilience.
