· FIFO + DLQ patterns well understood

Weaknesses

· Not HTTP-callback DX like QStash
· You glue Lambdas/EventBridge yourself
· Cross-region transfer charges

Pricing notes

As of 2026-09-14 (aws.amazon.com/sqs/pricing): First 1M requests/mo free. Standard queues then billed per million requests (tiered; classic ~$0.40/M in many commercial regions — confirm current regional table). FIFO higher. 1–10 messages/request, 64KB chunks. No workflow state — pure queue.
