How would I run a queue of an Amazon SQS ? Is it a cron job?

I understand the basic of Amazon SQS. Yet i'm still confused on how it runs? Is it an infinite running function that polls messages and deal with it? how would I achieve that in php?

What I have in mind is a cron job that triggers the polling and process the messages. is my understanding right?

There's more than one answer to this.

Yes, you could have cron poll regularly for new queue items. You could have a daemon running indefinitely (likely monitored by something like supervisor) that continues to poll in a loop.

There's also SQS triggers, where a new SQS item can automatically initiate something. There are multiple options available: new queue items can make an SNS notification, which could trigger a HTTP POST to a URL. They can also trigger a Lambda function.
