SQS

Amazon SQS is a managed queue for messages exchanged between applications or microservices. It helps decouple distributed components, and AWS SDK clients handle request signing, retries, and errors.

Syntax

sqs = Session().create_client("sqs", region_name="REGION")
sqs.send_message(QueueUrl="QUEUE_URL", MessageBody="MESSAGE")
sqs.receive_message(QueueUrl="QUEUE_URL")
