load_sqs

Loads bytes from Amazon SQS queues.

load_sqs queue:str, [poll_time=duration]

Description

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. The load_sqs operator reads bytes from messages of an SQS queue.

The load_sqs operator uses long polling, which helps reduce your cost of using SQS by reducing the number of empty responses when there are no messages available to return in reply to a message request. Use the poll_time option to adjust the timeout.

queue: str

The name of the queue to use.

poll_time = duration (optional)

The long polling timeout per request.

The value must be between 1 and 20 seconds.

Defaults to 3s.

Examples

Read JSON messages from the SQS queue tenzir:

load_sqs "sqs://tenzir"

Read JSON messages with a 20-second long poll timeout:

load_sqs "sqs://tenzir", poll_time=20s
