Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a distributed message queuing service introduced by Amazon.com as a beta in late 2004, and generally available in mid 2006. ==API== Amazon provides SDKs in several programming languages, including: C++ Go Java JavaScript Kotlin .NET PHP Python Ruby Rust Swift A Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1 client for Amazon SQS was released in December 20141. ==Message delivery== Messages can be of any type, and the data contained within is not restricted. Message bodies were initially limited to 8KB in size but was later raised to 64KB on 2010-07-01 and then 256KB on 2013-06-18. For larger messages, the user has a few options to get around this limitation. A large message can be split into multiple segments that are sent separately, or the message data can be stored using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Amazon DynamoDB with just a pointer to the data transmitted in the SQS message. Amazon has made an Extended Client Library available for this purpose. The service supports both unlimited queues and message traffic. ==Notable usage== Examples of companies that use SQS extensively include: Dropbox Netflix Nextdoor Amazon.com ==See also== Java Message Service Message queue Message Queuing as a Service Oracle Messaging Cloud Service ==References==
