AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS)

Introduction

• A message queuing service that “enables you to decouple and scale microservices”

Usage

• SQS is only used as part of the Elastic Beanstalk worker
• The web server can send requests to the SQS queue, which schedules it to run as an asynchronous task on the worker
• This is all automatically handled by AWS and django-eb-sqs-worker without any manual configuration
