events-backend-module-aws-sqs

Welcome to the events-backend-module-aws-sqs backend plugin!

This plugin is a module for the events-backend backend plugin and extends it with an AwsSqsConsumingEventPublisher.

This event publisher will allow you to receive events from an AWS SQS queue and will publish these to the used event broker.

Configuration

The polled AWS SQS queues depend on your configuration:

events:
  modules:
    awsSqs:
      awsSqsConsumingEventPublisher:
        topics:
          topicName1: # replace with actual topic name as expected by subscribers
            queue:
              url: 'https://sqs.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/123456789012/MyQueue'
              region: us-east-2
              # visibilityTimeout - as HumanDuration; defaults to queue-based config
              # waitTime - as HumanDuration; defaults to max of 20 seconds (long polling)
            # timeout - as HumanDuration; timeout for the task execution
            # waitTimeAfterEmptyReceive - as HumanDuration; time to wait before a retry when there was no message.
          topicName2:
            # [...]
