Simple Queue Service (SQS) Basics | AWS Cloud Computing Tutorial for Beginners

These days, a lot of applications use a microservices architecture, where the different components are decoupled from each other. But with things decoupled, how do the different parts communicate with each other? The answer is the Simple Queue Service, or SQS. When you think "decoupled" in Amazon Web Services (AWS), think SQS.

In this video, I'll introduce you to the core concepts of SQS, using an example of a photo processing application. Then in a hands-on tutorial, we'll create a new queue through the AWS Console, and send and receive a few messages. I'll also demonstrate how to work with the visibility timeout feature, which prevents messages from being processed more than once.
