Enable smooth transitions between systems
Scaleway Messaging and Queuing supports three protocols: SNS, SQS, and NATS. We support your multi-cloud strategy and make it easy for you to port your applications from other systems.
Messaging and Queuing
Easily connect your services and applications in the Cloud.
Send messages and events without having to manage your message broker.
Create scalable Cloud services
Fully managed message broker solution to help you easily scale your Cloud infrastructure, and simplify application development and operations, especially with Serverless.
Build reliable distributed applications
Achieve higher fault tolerance and resilience by enabling asynchronous service-to-service communication between services. Should a system’s service become unreachable, the other services can still continue to interact with the queue.
Popular use cases
Asynchronous communication
Enable asynchronous messaging for inter-service communication, decoupling services and buffering requests to allow independent tasks and simplify debugging, testing, and scaling.
Handling traffic spikes
Queue your data to ensure persistence and smooth processing, even during traffic spikes.
One-to-many notifications
Send messages to several consumers, fan-out (subscribe multiple queues to the same topic to replicate a message on the latter), and use message filtering to receive only a subset of the messages.
Task distribution among multiple workers
Increase your application performance by using parallel compute workers that will process messages or events stored in queues.
Key features
Multi-protocol support
Based on open standards to ease your Cloud ecosystem migration. Use AWS SQS, AWS SNS or NATS API to send and receive messages or configure queues.
Notifications (Publish Subscribe)
Distribute notifications and events across several consumers using publish/subscribe pattern.
Queues and Streams Services
FIFO queues with deduplication enabling exactly-once processing. We provide enhanced queue features such as long polling, and enable replay for messages stored in stream using NATS JetStream.
Built-in Serverless integration
With the Scaleway Serverless integration, you can trigger Functions or Containers with events stored in SQS queues and NATS streams.
Security
With restricted access and encryption in transit, we ensure secure asynchronous communication between your microservices.
Scalable & fully managed
An easy-to-use and fully managed infrastructure, a message broker solution that is integrated into the Scaleway console and tools (CLI, SDK, Terraform) to simplify application development, especially with Serverless.

Frequently asked questions
What is Messaging and Queuing?
Scaleway’s Messaging and Queuing product is a message broker tool that allows you to transfer messages between different microservices and platforms. This enables them to “talk” to each other effectively even if they are otherwise incompatible. Messaging & Queuing enables and simplifies the development of microservices applications, and allows you to build highly scalable, reliable, distributed applications.
What are NATS, SNS, and SQS?
NATS, SNS, and SQS are all messaging protocols supported by Scaleway’s Messaging and Queuing offer. You can find out more about these protocols, and other essential Messaging and Queuing concepts, on our dedicated concepts page.
Is Scaleway’s Messaging and Queuing SQS gateway compatible with my application/framework/tool?
We currently implement the API endpoints listed here, which makes Scaleway’s Messaging and Queuing compatible with the AWS SDK as well as many other tools and frameworks including KEDA and Symfony. Note that you need to specify both the region and the URL to ensure compatibility.
Does Scaleway Messaging and Queuing support all SNS features?
The following subscriber types are supported:
- HTTP/S clients
- Serverless Functions
- SQS queues in the same namespace
For more details on supported and unsupported SNS features, see our dedicated page
How am I billed for using Messaging and Queuing?
Messaging and Queuing is based on a pay-per-use pricing, meaning you only pay for the resources you actually use.
You are billed based on the volume of messages that transit through your SQS queues and NATS streams.
A distinct pricing model is in place when you take advantage of NATS persistence and use storage capacity of the stream.
As SNS is still in Beta it is not yet priced but the pricing will be the same as the one we have for SQS queues, based on the volume going through your subscriptions to the SNS topic created.
