AWS provides the Simple Email Service (SES) for sending notification, transactional, or marketing emails. In Azure, you can send emails with Azure Communication Services or third-party solutions, like SendGrid. Both of these options provide email services that can be incorporated into solutions to cater for various use cases.
AWS Simple Queueing Service (SQS) provides a messaging system for connecting applications, services, and devices within the AWS platform. Azure has two services that provide similar functionality:
-
Queue storage is a cloud messaging service that allows communication between application components within Azure.
-
Service Bus is a robust messaging system for connecting applications, services, and devices. By using the related Service Bus relay, Service Bus can also connect to remotely hosted applications and services.
If there is one set of components using Amazon SQS that needs to integrate with another set of components that uses Azure Service Bus, or vice versa, that can be done using the Messaging Bridge pattern.
