queue, processing delays, and error rates to ensure smooth operation.
Benefits:
• Asynchronous Processing: SQS allows orders to be processed asynchronously, decoupling the order
submission from the order processing workflow. This improves system responsiveness and scalability.
• Scalability: Amazon SQS and AWS Lambda automatically scale to handle high volumes of messages and
processing tasks, ensuring that the system can accommodate varying loads.
• Reliable Message Handling: SQS ensures that each message is processed at least once and provides
mechanisms to handle message retries and failures, increasing the reliability of the order processing system.
• Seamless Integration: SQS integrates well with other AWS services like EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, and SNS,
allowing for a cohesive and efficient architecture.
• Cost Efficiency: Using AWS Lambda and SQS can reduce operational costs by eliminating the need to
manage and maintain dedicated processing servers, and you pay only for the compute and storage resources
you use.
• Monitoring and Alerting: CloudWatch provides visibility into the performance and health of the order
processing system, allowing for proactive management and quick issue resolution.

image is uploaded. This event notification sends metadata about the uploaded image to the Lambda function.
• Process Image: Use AWS Lambda: The Lambda function receives the image upload event and processes the image. This involves:
o Downloading the image from S3.
o Resizing the image into multiple resolutions (e.g., thumbnail, medium, large).
o Converting the image to different formats if required (e.g., JPEG, PNG).
• Store Processed Images: Use Amazon S3: After processing, the Lambda function uploads the resized images back to a different S3
bucket or a subdirectory within the same bucket. This ensures that users can access various sizes of the image as needed.
• Track Metadata and Status: Use Amazon DynamoDB: Store metadata about the image processing job, including the status (e.g.,
pending, completed, failed), original image URL, processed image URLs, and timestamps. DynamoDB provides a scalable and
managed NoSQL database for this purpose.
