Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using Temporal IO alongside an AWS FIFO queue (or AWS queue in general) can be beneficial for several reasons:

  • Decoupling of Services: In environments where two services cannot communicate over the same local network due to being in different clusters or policy constraints, a queue acts as a mediator. AWS SQS can store messages until they're consumed, ensuring that messages aren't lost even if the consuming service isn't immediately available.

  • Integration with Existing Architecture: For organizations that have already invested in AWS and use SQS queues, integrating Temporal can enhance the processing capabilities without a complete overhaul. Temporal can be introduced to handle the business logic, retries, and workflows, while SQS continues to act as the message broker.

  • Ordered Processing: FIFO queues ensure that messages are processed in the order they are sent, which is crucial in scenarios like financial transactions or data synchronization.

Research direction

Review the repository's existing sample folders and identify the conventions for integrations with external services. Define the AWS SQS and Temporal setup that the sample should demonstrate, including whether FIFO ordering is required. The work is done when a self-contained sample folder shows the basic integration and can be run according to the repository's sample conventions.
