1-minute metrics for Amazon CloudWatch provides you more granular monitoring for queue status with continuous visibility into operations of your queues in order to quickly respond to changes in your workloads. Previously, Amazon SQS published metrics to Amazon CloudWatch in 5-minute intervals. Customers can now choose between 1-minute and 5-minute metrics.
Customers running scalable applications need to quickly respond to transient spikes whenever their applications scale in and out.
