Folks, I just learned that Amazon upped their max payload size for SQS and SNS to 256 KB. From their blog[1]: > Our customers tell us larger payloads will enable new use cases that >were previously difficult to accomplish. We could follow suite with Marconi, but I'd like to know what use cases AWS customers are talking about. Anyone have further insight into this? /kgriffs [1]: http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2013/06/larger-payloads-256-kb-for-amazon-sqs-an d-sns.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+AmazonW ebServicesBlog+(Amazon+Web+Services+Blog)
