# AWS Service - Amazon MQ

Amazon MQ:

* SQS, SNS are cloud-native services: proprietary protocols from AWS
    
* Traditional applications running from on-premises may use open protocols such as: MQTT, AMQP, STOMP, Openwire, WS
    
* When migrating to the cloud, instead of re-engineering the application to use SQS and SNS, we can use Amazon MQ
    
* Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ
    
* Amazon MQ doesn’t scale as much as SQS / SNS
    
* Amazon MQ runs on servers, can run in Multi-AZ with failover
    
* Amazon MQ has both queue feature (SQS) and topic features (SNS)
