AWS - SNS and SQS
You need to process financial transactions where order and exactly-once processing are critical. Which AWS SQS queue type should you choose and why?
AFIFO queue, because it guarantees order and exactly-once delivery
BFIFO queue, because it supports unlimited throughput
CStandard queue, because duplicates are automatically removed
DStandard queue, because it is faster and scalable
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify requirements

    Financial transactions need strict order and no duplicates (exactly-once).
  2. Step 2: Match queue features to requirements

    FIFO queues guarantee message order and exactly-once processing, unlike standard queues.
  3. Step 3: Evaluate incorrect options

    Standard queues do not guarantee order or exactly-once delivery; FIFO queues have throughput limits but meet requirements.
  4. Final Answer:

    FIFO queue, because it guarantees order and exactly-once delivery -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    Order + exactly-once = FIFO queue [OK]
Quick Trick: Use FIFO for order and no duplicates in critical tasks [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Choosing standard queue for ordered processing
  • Assuming standard queue removes duplicates
  • Believing FIFO supports unlimited throughput
