About AWS SQS

Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) is AWS's fully managed message queuing service enabling distributed application components to communicate reliably at any throughput — from a few messages per second to billions per day. SQS powers asynchronous job processing, event-driven microservice fan-out, and workload buffering that decouples producers from consumers across millions of applications. SQS outages or elevated delivery failure rates can cause message loss and stall async processing pipelines without immediately surfacing as application errors. Monitor live Amazon SQS status across all AWS regions and track SQS incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS SQS down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS SQS status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS SQS status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS SQS outage?

If AWS SQS is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS SQS team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS SQS uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS SQS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS SQS outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS SQS official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS SQS goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS SQS. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS SQS status changes.

How do I report a AWS SQS issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS SQS components?

Yes, where AWS SQS exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS SQS component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS SQS is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS SQS?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS SQS alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
