can somebody expand on this? I know about the 14 days limitation but this makes it sound like you can store messages for a long time and still recover them somehow?
I think what he meant was, Once you successfully put a message to SQS, it is kept till the 'message retention period' unless you explicitly call delete on it. Right now you can configure the period to be upto 14 days. AFAIK, there is no way to recover messages older than their retention period.
They're saying you've very unlikely to experience data loss after a message has been saved by SQS. Presumably they have multiple layers of redundancy at varying levels in order to provide this guarantee.
