Amazon SQS

How to connect using the SQS system integration

Introduction to Amazon SQS with Couchdrop

Couchdrop supports streaming data directly into Amazon SQS through file actions and automations, making it effortless to bridge file-based workflows with event-driven architectures. Instead of writing custom code or maintaining integration middleware, Couchdrop can take files or payloads from virtually any source - cloud storage, SFTP/FTP, APIs, or inbound webhooks - and automatically publish them as messages to your SQS queues.

Using Couchdrop’s automations with SQS, you can transform traditional file transfers into real-time, event-driven pipelines.
