Overview

The Cafe Order System is a serverless application specifically designed as a learning platform for understanding AWS SQS (Simple Queue Service) and system decoupling patterns. Built with simplicity and educational value in mind, it demonstrates how to effectively decouple system components using message queues while maintaining reliability and scalability.

Background

When learning about distributed systems and AWS services, I wanted to understand how to properly decouple system components using message queues. While there are many theoretical resources available, I needed a practical, hands-on example that would help me grasp the concepts through real implementation.
