SQS specialists for your dedicated team.

Where SQS fits in a long-term product team.

Being fully managed is most of the value. No brokers to run, no clustering, no capacity planning, and effectively unlimited throughput on standard queues. For a great many workloads that removes the entire operational argument against introducing a queue.

Visibility timeout is the mechanism to understand. A consumed message is hidden, and it reappears if it isn't deleted within the timeout. Set shorter than processing time, the message is redelivered while still being processed, producing duplicate work that looks inexplicable.

What your dedicated team does with SQS.

Standard queues are at-least-once, so consumers must be idempotent. That is a design requirement, and assuming exactly-once delivery is the most common serious mistake with SQS.

Designing idempotency in from the start is far cheaper than retrofitting it, and it is the standard held through a dedicated software development team.

Common SQS use cases.

• Queuing without operating a broker Managed infrastructure removing the operational argument against a queue.
• Visibility timeout matched to processing Timeouts set from real durations, so messages are not redelivered mid-work.
• Idempotent consumers by design Duplicate handling built in, because standard queues are at-least-once.

Adding SQS skills to your team.

Managed queuing is assigned inside development capacity, with consumer idempotency treated as a design requirement.

You can add SQS capacity as one dedicated specialist or as part of a wider remote team, managed by a service delivery manager from our offices in Thailand. Companies hire dedicated developers this way under one agreement and one monthly fee.
