I avoid systems like Cognito for that reason! SQS I've found to be ok when used as a backend for an abstraction. E.g. Laravel has a generic queue library that can be backed by file or redis or sql, ans using redis locally with SQS in production worked quite well with this.

SQS has different characteristics from a Redis queue or a RabbitMQ queue. That's the source of a lot of my nervousness around it: when those abstractions break and somebody-who-isn't-me has to debug it.
(I actually have an answer for local dev with Cognito because my current employer already had Cognito when I showed up, but it amounts to "have configurable signing keys and sign your own JWT in dev".)
