Would changing an SQS standard queue to FIFO eliminate duplicate external side effects when a worker crashes after a successful API call but before deleting the message? Find current official AWS sources. Produce a short adoption decision and compare send deduplication, ordering, redelivery and application idempotency. Include the documented deduplication window and explicit limits of any exactly-once claim.

Source excerpts only. The draft is withheld as a conclusion; complete synthesis is unverified. Qualifying source excerpts are quoted below. Research targets are topics to investigate, not established conclusions.

Research target 1

Requested topic (unverified): “Would changing an SQS standard queue to FIFO eliminate duplicate external side effects when a worker crashes after a successful API call but before deleting the message?”

- “A FIFO consumer can still execute business code again after its visibility timeout expires or after it commits an effect and fails before deleting the message.” - “A handler that charges a card and then crashes before deleting has already done the work, and the platform will hand the same message to somebody else.”

Research target 2

Requested topic (unverified): “What does current official AWS documentation state about SQS FIFO send deduplication?”

- “FIFO queues add producer-side deduplication and strict ordering within each message group.” - “In addition to content-based deduplication, you can include a MessageDeduplicationId when you call SendMessage for a FIFO queue.”

Research target 3

Requested topic (unverified): “What does current official AWS documentation state about SQS FIFO ordering?”

- “FIFO ordering means that, if you send message A, wait for a successful response, and then send message B, message B will be enqueued after message A, and then delivered accordingly.” - “This ordering does not apply if you make multiple SendMessage calls in parallel.”

Research target 4

Requested topic (unverified): “What does current official AWS documentation state about SQS FIFO redelivery?”

- “Consumer redelivery: one queued message is received again after failed or incomplete settlement.” - “problems” — the message “becomes visible again in the queue and can be retrieved by the same or a different consumer for another processing attempt.””

Research target 5

Requested topic (unverified): “What does current official AWS documentation state about application idempotency in relation to SQS FIFO?”

- “Use FIFO to control queue-introduced duplicates and per-group order; use application idempotency to control repeated effects.” - “Long-lived API idempotency requires a durable application record, not just FIFO's recent-send memory.”

Research target 6

Requested topic (unverified): “What is the documented deduplication window for SQS FIFO according to current official AWS sources?”

- “With an explicit ID, sends using the same value in the configured deduplication scope during the five-minute interval are accepted but only one copy is introduced into the queue.” - “Sending the same deduplication ID after that window can create another queued message.”

Research target 7

Requested topic (unverified): “What are the explicit limits of any exactly-once claim for SQS FIFO according to current official AWS sources?”

- “AWS calls the FIFO feature “exactly-once processing,” but its documented mechanism does not make your database update and DeleteMessage one atomic operation.” - “AWS states there is no absolute guarantee against redelivery in either queue type.”

Excerpts establish source grounding, not factual truth, entailment or whole-paper coverage. Support and coverage are estimates, not certification of a complete answer. Source statements may be wrong or conflicting. Draft conclusions are withheld; inspect the original text and obtain further review. Payment states remain in the separate receipt.

Next steps to complete this research

These are suggested follow-up steps; this run has not performed them. They do not change the recorded evidence or payment state.

- The model flagged differing source statements; that assessment is not independently verified. Compare the original passages and revisions, then ask the document owner which policy or result applies. The model's preferred source does not resolve a conflict.

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The gathered excerpts directly answer the core adoption question and most comparison points: FIFO does not eliminate duplicate external side effects when a worker crashes after a successful API call but before deleting the message, because FIFO's exactly-once claim is producer/send-side and does not make the business effect and DeleteMessage atomic. The excerpts also cover send deduplication, ordering, redelivery, application idempotency, and the five-minute deduplication window. However, the requested explicit limits of any exactly-once claim are only partially covered: the sources state that FIFO does not guarantee exactly-once consumer processing and that redelivery can still occur, but they do not provide a current official AWS passage enumerating the formal limits or caveats of the exactly-once claim. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.

Evidence

Relevance review returned; only checked excerpts can retain support, and review cannot raise it.

Adjudicate

⚖️ Sources disagreed on Whether FIFO provides exactly-once processing that prevents duplicate consumer-side effects — S3 Describes FIFO as providing exactly-once processing and eliminating duplicate messages, including in multiple-consumer scenarios. vs S2 States AWS calls the FIFO feature exactly-once processing, but the documented mechanism does not make the database update and DeleteMessage atomic, so a FIFO consumer can still execute business code again. vs S1 States there is no absolute guarantee against redelivery in either queue type and that consumer-side idempotency is still required. → reported preference: S2 and S1 (S2 and S1 are more specific and internally consistent about the consumer-side failure mode (crash after effect, before delete), and S1 explicitly attributes the no-absolute-guarantee statement to AWS. S3 is an older announcement blog that does not address the crash-after-effect scenario.)
