aws-messaging-and-streaming

Guidance for using AWS services that pass messages or streams of data between software components. It covers queues, notifications, event routing, and real-time data processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or implementing asynchronous messaging and data-streaming systems with Amazon SQS, SNS, EventBridge, MQ, Kinesis, Flink, or MSK.
Why use it?
It helps you choose the right AWS service and avoid guessing about limits, versions, settings, or how services behave together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-messaging-and-streaming scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AWS Messaging & Streaming Services

When answering AWS messaging and streaming questions, verify specific numbers, versions, limits, and behavioral details from service-specific skills or official AWS documentation. When uncertain, search skills or docs rather than guessing. Fabricated configuration options or incorrect version numbers are worse than admitting uncertainty.

When a question asks about recommended configurations (CloudWatch alarm settings, thresholds, missing data treatment), search for the service-specific skills or documentation rather than relying on general best practices.

Overview

Domain expertise for choosing and using AWS services that move data between producers and consumers. This skill covers two fundamental patterns — messaging and streaming — and the AWS services that implement each. Use this skill to decide which pattern fits a workload, select the right service, and understand how services integrate with each other.

For specific guidance on individual AWS services, see reference files or service-specific Skills.

Streaming and Messaging

What Is Messaging?

Messaging enables decoupled, asynchronous communication between components. A producer sends a message; one or more consumers receive and process it. Once processed, the message is typically deleted. Messaging services handle delivery guarantees, retries, and dead-letter routing.

Key characteristics:

  • Messages are consumed once (point-to-point) or fanned out (pub/sub), then removed
  • No replay — once acknowledged, a message is gone
  • Designed for command/request workloads, task distribution, and event notification

What Is Streaming?

Streaming enables ordered, durable, high-throughput continuous data flow. Producers append records to a log; consumers read from positions in that log. Records persist for a configurable retention period regardless of consumption.

Key characteristics:

  • Records are retained and replayable within the retention window
  • Strict ordering within a partition/shard
  • Multiple independent consumers can read the same data at different positions
  • Designed for event sourcing, real-time analytics, change data capture, and continuous processing

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
