They said they are currently doing 50k messages a second and they aren't even done migrating everything over. 50k messages a second would cost you around $50k

They said they are currently doing 50k messages a second and they aren't even done migrating everything over.
50k messages a second would cost you around $50k a month for AWS sqs, (math could be wrong, didn't double check).
Plus, with sqs, you get what they have. No customizations.
- rumanator 7y agoEven if you were off by an order of magnitude, that expenditure level is not justified to run a message broker service.

- deanCommie 7y agoI sincerely doubt they are sustaining 50k msgs/second. Likely that's the MAXIMUM throughput. No way they would actually hit that sustained throughput for the entire month. Even the other justifications about wanting to reference messages after delivery do not to me justify migrating off SQS/Kinesis, especially not at cost of 5 months development effort.
- nostrebored 7y agoWhy is this hard to believe? Maybe they have chatty IoT devices. Maybe a ton of sensors monitoring manufacturing plants for multiple different metrics in real-time. Maybe they just have large scale.
- manigandham 7y agoWe do 100k msgs/sec minimum in our streaming platform. This is on the low end for adtech and other industries.
