Application Integration

Overview of AWS - SQS, SNS and Amazon MQ, the three primary services that are used in modern applications to integrate with other applications or microservices.

Amazon MQ

It is a managed message broker service that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud.

Message brokers allow different software systems–often using different programming languages, and on different platforms to communicate and exchange information. Messaging is the communications backbone that connects and integrates the components of distributed applications, such as order processing, inventory management, and order fulfillment for e-commerce.

AWS MQ manages the administration and maintenance of ActiveMQ, a popular open-source message broker.

SNS – Simple Notification Service

It provides a low-cost infrastructure for mass message delivery for mobile users.

SQS – Simple Queue Service.

This is an Amazon-managed queuing service that makes it easy to decouple and scale microservices or distributed systems or serverless applications.

Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available.
