I used extensively at a previous company for longer running background tasks. It was simpler to use SQS than dealing with standing up our own RabbitMQ cluster. Their Amazon MQ service did not exist at the time. Our system was built to tolerate duplicates and it worked well enough. For something higher volume I'd definitely use RabbitMQ though.


A cluster! Yeah, if you have enough messages warranting a cluster, SQS might be simpler (but probably far more expensive). It's always tradeoffs I guess.
