+==== Automatic Batching with AWS SDK
+
+Spring Cloud AWS supports automatic message batching using AWS SDK's `SqsAsyncBatchManager`. This feature optimizes SQS operations by automatically batching requests under the hood to improve performance and reduce AWS API calls.
+
+IMPORTANT: This is different from the <<Batch Processing,Batch Processing>> feature described above. Batch Processing refers to processing multiple messages in a single listener method call, while Automatic Batching refers to the AWS SDK automatically combining multiple SQS API calls into batched requests for efficiency.
+
+==== Automatic Request Batching with SqsAsyncBatchManager
+
+Spring Cloud AWS allows you to leverage the AWS SDK's `SqsAsyncBatchManager` for automatic request batching. This feature can significantly improve performance and reduce costs by transparently combining multiple SQS API calls (`sendMessage`, `deleteMessage`, etc.) into single batch requests.
+
+IMPORTANT: This is different from the <<Batch Processing,Batch Processing>> feature for `@SqsListener`. Listener batch processing deals with handling multiple messages within a single listener invocation, whereas automatic request batching optimizes the underlying API calls to AWS.
+
+===== Manual Configuration of the Batching Client
+
+Since automatic batching is a powerful feature with specific trade-offs, Spring Cloud AWS does not auto-configure it. You can enable it by creating your own `SqsAsyncClient` bean using the provided `BatchingSqsClientAdapter`.
+
+###### 1. Defining the Batching Client Bean
+The following example shows how to define a bean named `batchingSqsAsyncClient`. Notice the use of `@Qualifier("sqsAsyncClient")` in the method parameter. This is crucial to explicitly inject the standard, auto-configured `SqsAsyncClient` and avoid ambiguity.
+
+[source,java]
+----
+@Configuration
+public class SqsBatchingConfiguration {
+
+    // Define a constant for the bean name to avoid typos
+    public static final String BATCHING_SQS_ASYNC_CLIENT = "batchingSqsAsyncClient";
+
+    @Bean(name = BATCHING_SQS_ASYNC_CLIENT)
+    public SqsAsyncClient batchingSqsAsyncClient(
+            // Inject the standard, auto-configured client to wrap it
+            @Qualifier("sqsAsyncClient") SqsAsyncClient standardSqsAsyncClient) {
+
+        ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutor = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(5);
+
+        SqsAsyncBatchManager batchManager = SqsAsyncBatchManager.builder()
+                .sqsAsyncClient(standardSqsAsyncClient)
+                .scheduledExecutor(scheduledExecutor)
+                .build();
+
+        return new BatchingSqsClientAdapter(batchManager);
+    }
+}
+----
+
+###### 2. Using the Batching Client
+Now, use `@Qualifier` to inject your named bean. The most common use case is configuring a dedicated `SqsTemplate`.
+
+[source,java]
+----
+@Service
+public class MyBatchingMessageService {
+
+    private final SqsTemplate batchingSqsTemplate;
+
+    public MyBatchingMessageService(
+            @Qualifier(SqsBatchingConfiguration.BATCHING_SQS_ASYNC_CLIENT) SqsAsyncClient batchingClient) {
+        this.batchingSqsTemplate = SqsTemplate.builder()
+                .sqsAsyncClient(batchingClient)
+                .build();
+    }
+    // ... service methods using batchingSqsTemplate
+}
+----
+
+===== Important Considerations & Best Practices
+
+WARNING: **Asynchronous Operations and False Positives**. The batching client processes operations asynchronously. A call to `sqsTemplate.sendAsync(...)` might return a `CompletableFuture` that completes successfully before the message is actually sent to AWS. The actual transmission happens later in a background thread. This can lead to **false positives**. Always attach error handling to the `CompletableFuture` to detect and handle real transmission failures.
+
+[source,java]
+----
+CompletableFuture<SendResult<String>> future = batchingSqsTemplate.sendAsync(queueName, message);
+
+future.whenComplete((result, ex) -> {
+    if (ex != null) {
+        // This is where you handle the actual transmission error
+        log.error("Failed to send message to queue {}: {}", queueName, ex.getMessage());
+    } else {
+        log.info("Message acknowledged for batch sending with ID: {}", result.messageId());
+    }
+});
+----
+
+WARNING: **Not Recommended for `@SqsListener`**. While technically compatible, using this batching client with `@SqsListener` for receiving messages is **not recommended**. The `@SqsListener` infrastructure already performs efficient batch receiving and has a complex acknowledgment lifecycle. Adding another layer of asynchronous batching provides limited performance benefits while significantly increasing complexity. For listeners, it's best to rely on the default `SqsAsyncClient`.
+
+IMPORTANT: **Bean Injection Safety**. By using a named bean and `@Qualifier` as shown in the configuration examples, you ensure the batching client is only used where intended. This prevents it from accidentally being injected into `@SqsListener` infrastructure, which should use the default `SqsAsyncClient`.
+
+IMPORTANT: **AWS SDK Batching Bypass**. The `SqsAsyncBatchManager` will bypass batching for `receiveMessage` calls if certain parameters like `messageAttributeNames` are set on a per-request basis. To ensure batching works effectively, these should be configured globally on the `SqsAsyncBatchManager` builder, not on individual `receiveMessage` calls. See the `BatchingSqsClientAdapter` Javadoc for more details.

 ==== Container Options
 
 Each `MessageListenerContainer` can have a different set of options.

+/**
+ * An {@link SqsAsyncClient} adapter that provides automatic batching capabilities using AWS SDK's
+ * {@link SqsAsyncBatchManager}.
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * This adapter automatically batches SQS operations to improve performance and reduce costs by combining multiple
+ * requests into fewer AWS API calls. All standard SQS operations are supported: send message, receive message, delete
+ * message, and change message visibility.
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Important - False Positives Warning:</strong> This adapter processes requests asynchronously through
+ * batching. Method calls may return successfully before the actual request is sent to AWS SQS. This can result in false
+ * positives where the operation appears to succeed locally but fails during the actual transmission to AWS.
+ * Applications should:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Always handle the returned {@link CompletableFuture} to detect actual transmission errors</li>
+ * <li>Implement appropriate error handling and monitoring</li>
+ * <li>Consider retry mechanisms for critical operations</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Batch Optimization:</strong> The underlying {@code SqsAsyncBatchManager} from the AWS SDK bypasses
+ * batching for {@code receiveMessage} calls that include per-request configurations for certain parameters.
+ * To ensure batching is not bypassed, it is recommended to configure these settings globally on the
+ * {@code SqsAsyncBatchManager} builder instead of on each {@code ReceiveMessageRequest}.
+ * The parameters that trigger this bypass are:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@code messageAttributeNames}</li>
+ * <li>{@code messageSystemAttributeNames}</li>
+ * <li>{@code messageSystemAttributeNamesWithStrings}</li>
+ * <li>{@code overrideConfiguration}</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * By configuring these globally on the manager, you ensure consistent batching performance. If you require
+ * per-request attribute configurations, using the standard {@code SqsAsyncClient} without this adapter may be
+ * more appropriate.
