Queuer

Simple AWS Lambda that accepts a proxied call from API Gateway and stores the request in SQS. This is useful when you need to process the request asynchronously and return a response to the client as soon as possible. The application is written in Go and uses the AWS SDK for Go.

Environment Variables

The application uses the following environment variables:

• AWS_REGION: The AWS region where the SQS queue is located (by default it will use the same region as the Lambda).
• QUEUE_URL: The URL of the SQS queue where the requests will be sent.

Logging

The application uses the zap logging library. If the DEBUG environment variable is set to true, it will use a development logger with full request logging and also it will add the full request to the response (echo function).

Building

To build the application, run the following command:

make build

It will produce two zip files in the .bin directory: function-amd64.zip and function-arm64.zip. The first one is for x86_64 architectures and the second one is for ARM64 architectures.
