• Amazon MQ works with your existing applications and services without the need to manage, operate, or maintain your messaging system.

How is Amazon MQ different from Amazon SQS or Amazon SNS?

• Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service that provides compatibility with many popular message brokers.
• We recommend Amazon MQ for migrating applications from existing message brokers that rely on compatibility with APIs such as JMS or protocols such as AMQP 0-9-1, AMQP 1.0, MQTT, OpenWire, and STOMP.
• Amazon SQS and Amazon SNS are queues and topic services that are highly scalable, simple to use and don't require setting up message brokers.
• These services are recommended for new applications to benefit from nearly unlimited scalability and simple APIs.
