Does SQS guarantee delivery to all clients? If it does then that’s doing a lot of heavy lifting for you.

If it doesn’t guarantee delivery, then I believe you will at some point have a client that reads a cached value thinking it’s still valid because the invalidation message got lost in the network.

Eventually. The problem is that eventually delivering that message will result in clients assuming that it will always be the same, when it’s not.
