AWS SQS Standard Queue vs FIFO Queue

When it comes to cloud computing, AWS plays a major role as a IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service). Amazon Web Service (AWS) is a well known public cloud service provider. You can find out more about AWS from https://aws.amazon.com/

Simple Queue Service is one of the most useful service which is provided by AWS. If you are using AWS then no need to waste your time on implementing queues. AWS has done that part for you. You just have to use it. You can find more details from https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/

AWS SQS provides two types of queues.
  • Standard Queue
  • FIFO Queue (First In First Out queue)

Comparison of Standard and FIFO queue types are as below.

Standard Queue FIFO Queue
Available on all AWS regions Available in the US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), and EU (Ireland) regions
Unlimited Throughput Support up to 3,000 messages per second
Message delivered at least once, but occasionally more than one Delivered once
Not execute in order they sent First in first out
Good for high throughput scenarios Recommended when order of the event is important


Hope this will help you too.


Cheers...!!
