I agree in general, but there will always be certain requirements and team structures where stuff like this makes sense.

For me, I work in a small team of 6 devs on an ever growing app and feature set. I 100% will leverage managed services where cost and complexity allow. SQS is one of the most stable and cheapest AWS service, and the ability to just use it and not have to sysops it means we can spend more time building features.

Indeed. I’ve relied heavily on SQS for years and never regretted it. I question the comparison to SQS for this add on — it’s not really in the same ballpark.
