To stop any lag in sending SQS push, we have a local listener that accepts messages, buffers them and sends them on. Our web-app is then guarranteed low latency sending messages to a queue.
Will use IAM Role Credentials if not in Environment (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY).
Install dependencies: npm install
Configure in the conf/config.json to your liking:
{
"region": "eu-west-1",
"amazon_id": "123456789",
"port": 7890
}
- region: the AWS region for the queue (default: "eu-west-1")
- amazon_id: your AWS account ID (required! no default)
- port: the port the proxy will listen on (default: 7890)
Run the binary bin/sqs-proxy (symlink this to your path, e.g. /usr/local/bin).
Now you can send messages in the following format:
<queue name>|<message>\n
or if you want to delay the message by a given number of seconds:
<delay in seconds>|<queue name>|<message>\n
e.g. "testq|I am a meesage" followed by a linebreak.
or "30|testq|I am a meesage" followed by a linebreak.
