kenshih / sqs-sugar

Just some python sugar for SQS internal projects

Overview

This is a script that moves AWS SQS Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) messages off of DLQ and back to the original Queue. After doing so, it deletes the DLQ message.

Prerequisites

Set env for

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID <- actually, set through aws configure instead; this is here to remind us to make this env controlled
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• Q_URL <- sqs queue
• DLQ_URL <- the dead-letter queue for above queue

pip install boto3

To run

# e.g. this moves 1000 messages over from DLQ_URL to Q_URL
python dlq2q.py --num 1000
