AWS Simple Queue Connector

AWS Simple Queue connector provides integration with Simple Queue Service from AWS.

Service Description

There are two component options for configuring a connector to communicate with AWS Simple Queue:

  • AWS Simple Queue Receiver Connector
  • AWS Simple Queue Sender Connector

Amazon Simple Queue Service (AWS SQS) is a cloud-based service and is used to communicate messages between distributed applications. Essentially, it acts as an intermediary to forward messages generated by an application to other applications. SQS is designed for use in distributed applications and can be scaled to handle large amounts of messages. It provides a reliable infrastructure to store and transmit messages. Messages are not lost, duplicated or sorted. If a message is not processed it can be automatically resent. However, thanks to this feature, a message is non-recurring, meaning once a message is received it is not processed repeatedly. AWS Simple Queue connector enables the integration to send messages to AWS SQS. When an event occurs or a certain operation is completed, it can send a message to the SQS queue through this connector. It can forward messages from AWS SQS to the application. This allows the integration to perform certain actions by retrieving messages from the queue. AWS SQS Connector allows external applications to easily interact with the AWS SQS service. This is useful when there is a need to provide reliable messaging between applications. AWS SQS Connector is used specifically to meet the need for asynchronous messaging of applications on the AWS platform with each other and with different services. In this way, inter-system communication, data flow and business processes can be managed more effectively.

Beginning

Follow these steps before starting the integration:

  • Get your AWS secret key and access key to access AWS Simple Queue.
  • Configure security policies using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to define access permissions at the required level. Utilize S3's Access Control Lists (ACLs) or security groups to restrict access to data.
  • Create credentials for AWS in the Credential tab on the Operations page.
