SQS is a message queue service. It's a bit weird to claim that as "simply aren't directly available as selfhosted replacements", a message queue is pretty basic stuff.

SQS is "just a queue service" the way that S3 is "just an object store" and the iPhone is "just a smartphone".

I'm super into self-hosted shared-nothing queue services, but what AWS is doing with SQS is anything but basic stuff.
