Analyze Kafka and SQS Message Queues in One Place
March 9th, 2025
Hud now treats Kafka and SQS as first-class message queues, giving you a unified way to explore, filter, and understand queue-based flows across the system.
Details
The Kafka Topics page is now includes both Kafka and Amazon SQS.
Function-related tables now include SQS flows, with the same fields and structure as existing entities, plus an SQS type indicator.
Why It Matters
Many systems rely on multiple messaging technologies. A unified view across Kafka and SQS makes it easier to reason about asynchronous flows, trace function involvement, and analyze performance without treating each queue type as a separate mental model.
How to Access
- Open Queues page from the main navigation to view Kafka and SQS together.
- On Function pages, use Filter by Flow or review tables to see where functions participate in SQS-based flows.
