Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) Getting Started Guide

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS).

This getting started guide walks you through the steps of signing up for Amazon Web Services, getting your AWS access key identifiers, creating a queue, sending a message, receiving a message, and deleting a message in Amazon SQS.

Amazon SQS provides a reliable, highly scalable, hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between computers and makes it easy for developers to build an automated workflow, working in close conjunction with the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and the other AWS infrastructure web services.
