I really wish SQS had reliably lower latency, like Redis, and also supported priority levels. (Also like redis, now, with sorted sets and the https://redis.io/commands/bzpopmax command.)

Has anyone measured the performance of Redis on large sorted sets, say millions of items? Hoping that it's still in single digit milliseconds at that size... And can sustain say 1000QPS...

We use Redis as a job queue and its great; the only limitation is being sometimes concerned about job queue size due to memory limits of the Redis server itself.

Also, when you don't want to lose a message, the Redis persistence story requires careful thought. It requires setting up RDB + AOF + appendfsync=always + backups.

This would just kill the performance on virtualized hardware like EBS. You would lose a lot of benefits of Redis at that point.
