HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) launched support for 1-minute HAQM CloudWatch metrics on Dec 11, 2019 in US East (Ohio), EU (Ireland), EU (Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions. Starting today, you can set up HAQM CloudWatch metrics at 1-minute interval at no additional cost in all commercial regions.
1-minute metrics for HAQM CloudWatch provides 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 can now choose between 1-minute and 5-minute metrics.
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 quicker triggers to scale their Auto Scaling Group (ASG) in response to changing demand from an HAQM SQS queue.
