Use Case: EventBridge Pipes vs SQS
This is a post on the use case differences between Amazon EventBridge Pipes and Amazon SQS.
Spoiler alert: they are rather similar, but the more honest comparison would be between EventBridge Pipes and SNS.
AWS announced the release of EventBridge Pipes on Dec 1, 2022. This addition expands the list of services under the EventBridge family of services.
What EventBridge Pipes and SQS are
straight from the horse’s mouth:
Amazon EventBridge Pipes helps you create point-to-point integrations between event producers and consumers with optional transform, filter and enrich steps. EventBridge Pipes reduces the amount of integration code you need to write and maintain when building event-driven applications.
SQS:
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) lets you send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available.
EventBridge Pipes and SQS similarities
At first glance, both handles messages/events. SQS as you might already know, is a message queuing system.
