   - `--instance-color <color>`: Optional command-line parameter to differentiate deployment instances. When specified (blue or green), modifies the queue URL by appending the color to the queue name (e.g., `staging-compilation-queue-blue.fifo`)
 - **Implementation**: Located in `/lib/compilation/sqs-compilation-queue.ts` with shared parsing utilities in `/lib/compilation/compilation-request-parser.ts`
 - **Queue Architecture**: Uses single AWS SQS FIFO queue for reliable message delivery, messages contain isCMake flag to distinguish compilation types
+- **S3 Overflow Support**: Large compilation requests exceeding SQS message size limits (256KB) are automatically stored in S3
+  - Messages exceeding the limit are stored in S3 bucket `compiler-explorer-sqs-overflow`
+  - SQS receives a lightweight reference message with type `s3-overflow` containing S3 location
+  - Workers automatically detect overflow messages and fetch the full request from S3
+  - S3 objects are automatically deleted after 1 day via lifecycle policy
 - **Result Delivery**: Uses WebSocket-based communication via `PersistentEventsSender` for improved performance with persistent connections
 - **Message Production**: Queue messages are produced by external Lambda functions, not by the main Compiler Explorer server
 - **Shared Parsing**: Common request parsing logic is shared between web handlers and SQS workers for consistency
 - **Remote Compiler Support**: Workers automatically detect and proxy requests to remote compilers using HTTP, maintaining compatibility with existing remote compiler infrastructure
 - **S3 Storage Integration**: Compilation results include an `s3Key` property containing the cache key hash for S3 storage reference. Large results (>31KiB) can be stored in S3 and referenced by this key. The s3Key is removed from API responses before sending to users.
+- **Metrics & Statistics**: SQS workers track separate Prometheus metrics (`ce_sqs_compilations_total`, `ce_sqs_executions_total`, `ce_sqs_cmake_compilations_total`, `ce_sqs_cmake_executions_total`) and record compilation statistics via `statsNoter.noteCompilation` for Grafana monitoring, mirroring the regular API route behavior.
 
 ## Testing Guidelines
 - Use Vitest for unit tests (compatible with Jest syntax)
