I do. However, the process would have stuck around until it finished. It wouldn't have changed our overall RPS at all. Arguably the same problem would exist in other languages, but at least there we would have had the option of using threads, and we could have executed multiple calls to SQS in parallel. Probably not something I'd want to do all the time, but it would be nice to have had that option in this case.
