It is critical that orders are processed exactly once and in the exact order they were received. <br/><br/>Which AWS service should the solutions architect use to decouple the web tier from the processing tier?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Amazon SQS Standard queue

    B.

    Amazon SQS FIFO queue

    C.

    Amazon SNS

    D.

    Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

    Amazon SQS FIFO queue
    Amazon SQS FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queues are designed to enhance messaging between applications when the order of operations and events is critical, or where duplicates can't be tolerated. They provide exactly-once processing and strict ordering.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing SQS Standard, which does not guarantee order or exactly-once delivery.
