Connect application using subscriptions – where is the message queue?

Hello everyone,

I've just read through the documentation for Connect applications and subscriptions. But one thing is not quite clear to me.

An example: I create a Connect application that sends product data to a third party service every time a new product is released. So the application creates a subscription and uses AWS SQS as a queue.

But when I eventually want to offer the Connect app on the marketplace and a customer installs the app, where does the AWS SQS come from or who hosts it? Is the idea that the customer does this themselves or that I, as the provider of the Connect application, also provide the required queue?

Or am I making the wrong assumptions?

Kind regards
Torben

Hey Torben,

 

Connector deployment in Connect also provisions necessary event queue to receive events from composable commerce and forward  the event to application for processing. So when Customer install connector from Connect marketplace , in case of GCP it is also provisioning Pub/Sub topic and subscription where subscription forwards the event to HTTP endpoint of the connector event application. Currently Connect does not support AWS but is in roadmap.
