This chapter is an outline. The curriculum, learning objectives and
structure are settled; the prose, diagrams and code are still being written.
What is below is the plan for the chapter, not the chapter.
SQS — API Cheat Sheet
Read time: scan
Every API: purpose, important parameters, when to use it, caveats. With CLI equivalents.
Planned contents
- SendMessage / SendMessageBatch
- ReceiveMessage
- DeleteMessage / DeleteMessageBatch
- ChangeMessageVisibility / ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch
- CreateQueue / SetQueueAttributes
- GetQueueAttributes / GetQueueUrl / ListQueues
- StartMessageMoveTask (DLQ redrive)
- ⚠️ PurgeQueue — irreversible
- Java SDK v2 snippet and AWS CLI command for each
Design rules for this sheet
- Tables, diagrams and bullets. Prose only where a sentence genuinely beats a row
- Scannable at a glance; printable on a laptop screen
- Every quota and price links to
_reference/aws-facts.md - It answers "remind me", not "teach me" — the course body does the teaching
