HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) now publishes 1-minute metrics to HAQM CloudWatch, providing you more granular monitoring for queue status with continuous visibility into operations of your queues in order to quickly respond to changes in your workloads. Previously, HAQM SQS published metrics to HAQM CloudWatch in 5 minute intervals. 

Customers running scalable applications need to quickly respond to transient spikes whenever their applications scale in and out. For example, HAQM CloudWatch 1-Minute metrics enables customers to set near real-time triggers to scale their Auto Scaling Group (ASG) in response to changing demand from an HAQM SQS queue. Customers can now choose between 1-minute and 5-minute metrics. 

Now you can set up HAQM CloudWatch metrics at 1-minute interval at no additional cost in US East (Ohio), EU (Ireland), EU (Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions, with support in remaining regions coming soon.
