ANSWER
Build and run applications without managing servers — automatic scaling, pay-for-use, and built-in availability. Lambda and Fargate are core.

  1. Amazon API Gateway

    A fully managed service to create, publish, and secure REST, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs at scale — often the front door to Lambda.

  2. Amazon SQS

    A fully managed message queue that decouples components. Standard (at-least-once, best-effort order) and FIFO (exactly-once, ordered) queue types.

  3. Amazon SNS

    A managed pub/sub service: publish one message to a topic and fan it out to many subscribers (SQS, Lambda, email, HTTP).

  4. SNS + SQS fan-out

    Publish an event to an SNS topic subscribed by multiple SQS queues so several consumers each get a copy to process independently.

  5. SQS queue types

    Standard = high throughput, at-least-once delivery, best-effort ordering. FIFO = strict ordering and exactly-once processing at lower throughput.

  6. Loose coupling with queues

    Placing a queue between producer and consumer lets each scale and fail independently, absorbing spikes and improving resilience.

  7. When to use a message queue

    To buffer bursts, decouple services, smooth load, and ensure work is not lost if a consumer is slow or temporarily down.
