[@hdang1997]

You just gave me a final year project idea. Gracias!

[@sf-spark129]

Good explanation!! As an active user of AWS myself, I would like to add one thing here.
SQS is not error-proof/fault-tolerant by itself in the event of a failure. It guarantees to deliver all messages to the next microservice by having a back-up option, called DLQ(Dead Letter Queue). When the SQS fails to deliver a message to the next microservice whether due to a source side issue or a destination side issue, it sends that message to the DLQ(it is basically another SQS). Then, you get to re-drive(re-play) that message once you locate and resolve the issue in the system. One caveat is that there is a maximum 14-day message expiration period in DLQ.
Also, SNS can be subscribed by a streaming service like Kinesis FH.
