Containers are one of the most popular ways for businesses to deploy applications. They provide an easy method of packaging applications into self-sufficient units that can be used, moved around, and re-used in any number of ways without breaking the overall functionality of your software.

The simple query service (SQS) was one of the first services AWS offered. It’s a managed queuing service that lets you take pressure from your downstream services. You put your items on the queue, and other services can pull them whenever they have the capacity to work on them. It’s a managed service, so you don’t have to install or maintain the software yourself; you just configure a queue and start pushing to and pulling from it. So SQS is very simple to get started with.

Although both data lakes and data warehouses are commonly used to store large amounts of data, the phrases are not interchangeable. A data lake is not a straight substitute for a data warehouse; rather, they are complementary technologies that serve a variety of use cases, some of which overlap.
