On SQS
Has anyone ever measured the latency of the sending message to SQS? I was using with ELB in t2.medium instances, and my API (handle => send message to queue => return {status: true}) response times were around 150 - 300 ms and replaced SQS with RabbitMQ, and it went down to around 75-100 ms.<p>Does anyone think that sending message to SQS is slow?<p>Edit: 
With this update, I was able to process almost 3 x requests with the same resources, and it lowered my bills quite a lot.<p>For example my SQS bill for last month<p>Amazon Simple Queue Service EUC1-Requests-Tier1 
$0.40 per 1,000,000 Amazon SQS Requests per month thereafter 290,659,096 Requests $116.26<p>it went to 0, and ec2 cost went down as well because ELB spun up fewer instances that I could handle more quest with the same resources.<p>This was my experience with SQS. I just wanted to share it.
