Version 4 (V4) of the SDK for .NET is in preview! To see information about this new version in preview, see the AWS SDK for .NET (version 4 preview) Developer Guide.
Please note that V4 of the SDK is in preview, therefore its content is subject to change.
The AWS SDK for .NET supports Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), which is a message queuing service that handles messages or workflows between components in a system.
Amazon SQS queues provide a mechanism that enables you to send, store, and receive messages between software components such as microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. This enables you to decouple such components and frees you from the need to design and operate your own messaging system. For information about how queues and messages work in Amazon SQS, see Amazon SQS tutorials and Basic Amazon SQS architecture in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide.
Important
Due to the distributed nature of queues, Amazon SQS can't guarantee that you'll receive messages in the precise order they're sent. If you need to preserve message order, use an Amazon SQS FIFO queue.
APIs
The AWS SDK for .NET provides APIs for Amazon SQS clients. The APIs enable you to work with Amazon SQS features such as queues and messages. This section contains a small number of examples that show you the patterns you can follow when working with these APIs. To view the full set of APIs, see the AWS SDK for .NET API Reference (and scroll to "Amazon.SQS").
The Amazon SQS APIs are provided by the AWSSDK.SQS
