I mean, what would you call it? It's basically a 'push/pop' interface with timeouts. Like, do you think 'Kafka' is more descriptive? Or Prometheus? Or any of the essentially randomly generated names that various projects and products choose?
By the standard of tech names SQS seems, relatively speaking, extremely descriptive.
- dijit 5y agoAmazon Queue Service. Or pubsub.
- flatiron 5y agoHaving them start everything with “Amazon” would put them in the “kde” league of everything stupidly starting with k for no reason other than to start with k.

- dylan604 5y agoyeah, but intentionally misspelling words to include a silent 'k' is a fun gimmicy thing. GNU does similar do they gnot?
- 411111111111111 5y agoSo that would make it AQS or PSS.... Is that really easier to understand then SQS?
- staticassertion 5y agoI'm really failing to see how that's any clearer. If you're looking at SQS you probably already know it's an AWS service, and pubsub seems less descriptive than queue...
- lentil 5y agopubsub would also be misleading, given SQS does not support the pub/sub pattern. It's a queue where each message is processed once by a single consumer; it's not a pub/sub system where multiple consumers can subscribe to messages of interest.
- staticassertion 5y agoYeah, it's actually less correct, not less descriptive - I mispoke.
