Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using Temporal IO alongside an AWS FIFO queue (or AWS queue in general) can be beneficial for several reasons:

  • Decoupling of Services: In environments where two services cannot communicate over the same local network due to being in different clusters or policy constraints, a queue acts as a mediator. AWS SQS can store messages until they're consumed, ensuring that messages aren't lost even if the consuming service isn't immediately available.

  • Integration with Existing Architecture: For organizations that have already invested in AWS and use SQS queues, integrating Temporal can enhance the processing capabilities without a complete overhaul. Temporal can be introduced to handle the business logic, retries, and workflows, while SQS continues to act as the message broker.

  • Ordered Processing: FIFO queues ensure that messages are processed in the order they are sent, which is crucial in scenarios like financial transactions or data synchronization.
