What You'll Learn

1. Identify scenarios where queue-based messaging using Amazon SQS is appropriate for decoupling workloads and handling asynchronous processing.
2. Implement publish-subscribe messaging using Amazon SNS to distribute events across multiple services.
3. Ingest and process real-time event data using Amazon Kinesis streams.

Prerequisites

The learner should already have a foundational understanding of AWS core services and general cloud architecture concepts. Familiarity with common infrastructure components such as compute services, storage services, IAM permissions, and basic networking concepts like VPCs will help learners focus on implementing messaging and streaming workflows rather than foundational AWS configuration.
