Aws Messaging And Streaming

This one covers the whole AWS messaging and streaming stack: SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Amazon MQ on the messaging side, plus Kinesis Data Streams, Firehose, Managed Flink, and MSK for streaming. The real value is in the decision framework. It walks through when you want messaging (consume once, delete, distribute work) versus streaming (replay, strict ordering, multiple independent readers). The gotchas section is worth the price alone: things like SQS system attributes versus user attributes, the SNS to Firehose newline delimiter trap, and DLQ policy mistakes that silently drop messages. Useful when you're architecting data flows and need to pick the right service instead of defaulting to whatever you used last time.

AWS Messaging & Streaming Services

When answering AWS messaging and streaming questions, verify specific numbers, versions, limits, and behavioral details from service-specific skills or official AWS documentation. When uncertain, search skills or docs rather than guessing. Fabricated configuration options or incorrect version numbers are worse than admitting uncertainty.

When a question asks about recommended configurations (CloudWatch alarm settings, thresholds, missing data treatment), search for the service-specific skills or documentation rather than relying on general best practices.
