> Message DB is a good fit in a microservice-based architecture

I don't know about that, I have seen many microservices that process data that comes in from messages on message queues; frequently that is a better design than receiving the data over synchronous http PUT or POST.

By "message queues" I mean AWS SNS/SQS and Azure event hubs. Would a SQL Db be "a good fit in a microservice-based architecture" replacement there?

or are you suggesting that such a microservice's first action on receiving a message from a queue would be to store it a local, private Message DB? That might make sense, I've seen enough tables that store a JSON blob already.
