Summary

Amazon MQ is a managed messaging service hosted on the AWS cloud, designed to help users easily migrate ActiveMQ message brokers or any other supported messaging protocols to the cloud. It supports several ActiveMQ versions and can be used for various purposes such as integrating disparate systems, transitioning applications from monolithic architecture to microservices, and improving data reliability in dynamic environments. Amazon MQ uses resources to store and send messages between client programs through brokers that route messages between the nodes in a distributed application. Key metrics to monitor include MemoryUsage, ConsumerCount, ProducerCount, QueueSize, ExpiredCount, EnqueueCount, DequeueCount, HeapUsage, CPUUtilization, StorePercentUsage, and TotalMessageCount.
