High availability in AWS SQS

1.6k views Asked by At
  1. I have a microservice which pushes the messages to the SQS Fifo queue. If in future the SQS is down, How can I configure a secondary SQS as a failover. Could also please mind in explaining how AWS manages the high availability of SQS.

  2. IS SQS a region based service or an Availability-zone based service.

You can read the SLA here. SQS is regional, and highly-available within each region.

Here's a guide to Disaster Recover on SQS, which provides suggested architectures for:

  1. Active-Active
  2. Backup & Restore
  3. Pilot Light
  4. Warm Standby
