'''Amazon Simple Queue Service''' ('''Amazon SQS''') is a distributed [[message queuing service]] introduced by [[Amazon.com]] as a beta in late 2004, and generally available in mid 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2006-07-13|title=Amazon Simple Queue Service Released|url=https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon_simple_q/|access-date=2021-10-29|website=Amazon Web Services|language=en-US}}</ref>.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jeff-barr.com/2014/08/19/my-first-12-years-at-amazon-dot-com/ |title=My First 12 Years at Amazon.com|first=Jeff|last=Barr|date=2014-08-19|website=jeff-barr.com|access-date=2021-01-11}}</ref> It supports programmatic sending of messages via web service applications as a way to communicate over the Internet. SQS is intended to provide a highly scalable hosted [[message queue]] that resolves issues arising from the common [[producer–consumer problem]] or connectivity between producer and consumer.

Amazon SQS can be described as [[commoditization]] of the messaging service. Well-known examples of messaging service technologies include [[IBM WebSphere MQ]] and [[Microsoft Message Queuing]]. Unlike these technologies, users do not need to maintain their own server. Amazon does it for them and sells the SQS service at a per-use rate.
