Amazon SQS Drops Price By 10,000%?.At the cost of reducing packet size to 8k, retention time to 4 days, and buffer size to 10 messages. Some folks will complain but it certainly looks like it sets the service up to compete better with installing your own MQ.

Err, buffer size of 10 is not good enough.
If you’re doing video encoding and you get a lot of uploads, you could get up to a backlog of 10 very fast. It’ll take a few minutes to start up a new EC2 node, and in the meantime you’ll lose data?
Unless I’m missing something or misunderstanding what they mean by buffer?
The buffer in this case means the number of packets you can pull down in a single call.
