## About

Fully managed message queuing service for distributed system components

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026. The commercial landing page loads, but clicking "Get started for free" redirects to the AWS Console, which returns a 400 "Access Restricted" error stating AWS does not provide services in the user's region. The team sent official outreach to the company in March 2026, naming SQS among the blocked services; no response or resolution yet.

## Official timeline

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
