SQS Pricing feedback
I just wanted to share some SQS pricing feedback with you guys. We'd really like to use SQS to provide transactions around S3 updates that touch multiple resources, but are concerned that the $0.10/1k messages price is too high (for our market, anyways).
If we had 50,000 users making 10 transactions a day, that turns out to be over $18k/year in just the SQS transaction costs, not even including bandwidth fees. For some applications I'm sure that's okay, but it's definitely a problem for us. Consequently, we've elected to not implement transactions and instead handle problems at the application level as they come up. Which is not fun, as you might imagine! If the price was $0.10 for 100k messages we would be a lot happier. :-)
