<a name="examples-sqs"></a>

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that makes it easy to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. You can use the following examples to program [Amazon SQS](http://www.amazonaws.cn/sqs) using the Amazon SDK for C\$1\$1.

**Note**  
Only the code that is necessary to demonstrate certain techniques is supplied in this Guide, but the [complete example code is available on GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/cpp). On GitHub you can download a single source file or you can clone the repository locally to get, build, and run all examples.
