Reply To: I think question about SQS dedupe feature has bad answer

Thanks, that seems like an improvement.

It was from reading about this question that I learned about deduplication interval. If that never comes up in CDA test, I guess it’s best to deemphasize. The wording in AWS docs sounds like there’s some variability about how long that interval can be, they guarantee for 5 minutes and I guess that guarantee has to hold if you are maxing the queue with 3K messages a second, AWS will be holding on to 900K presumably indexed ids in a moving window… I guess I will test how long deduping works on a low volume queue and see if it is a lot longer than 5 min.

Thanks for the thoughtful & helpful answer
