Document | Migration guide

Overview

• managed message broker service for

  • RabbitMQ

  • ActiveMQ

  • IBM MQ

• It replaces natvie SNS and SQS, so have both feature: queue & topic

Why MQ?

• SNS and SQS are cloud-native

• On-premises using: MQTT, AMQP, STOMP, Openwire, WSS

• when migrate to the cloud, instead of re-engineering the app to use SNS or SQS, we can use Amazon MQ

Draw back

• Does not scale as much as SNS/SQS

• Amazon MQ run on servers, can run Multi-AZ for failover

Fail-over

• Set up Multi-AZ for fail-over, using a Standby server & Amazon EFS for storage.
