This session will cover the bits about AWS SQS and then we will move forward to Elastic MQ. ElasticMQ is a message queue system, offering an actor-based Scala and an SQS-compatible REST (query) interface. ElasticMQ follows the semantics of SQS. We will see how we can use Elastic MQ for testing purposes or for using SQL on local.

ElasticMQ : Server for
Local SQS

2. Lack of etiquette and manners is a huge turn off.

Punctuality
Respect Knolx session timings,
you are requested not to join
sessions after a 5 minutes
threshold post the session start
time.
Feedback
Make sure to submit a
constructive feedback for all
sessions as it is very helpful for
the presenter.

3. Agenda
01
● AWS SQS
● Testing for AWS SQS
● ElasticMQ
● Code Walkthrough and Demo

4. AWS SQS
01
AWS SQS i.e Simple
Queue Service is a fully
managed queueing
service provided by
AWS.

5. Working of SQS

7. Overview of SQS
01
● You can create unlimited queues.
● The SQS messages have a concept of visibility timeout i.e. the time for
which the message was not visible to consumers.
● We have deadletter queue as well. The messages that are not received
by actual queue, for any reason, are sent to deadletter. With the help
of deadletter queue your messages will never be lost and you can
always republish them after polling them from deadletter queue.

8. Testing your SQS Code
01
SQS requires your actual AWS credentials to access queues..
It will access the real queue in an actual environment.
Do you really want to test your code in real environment?
Do you really want your tests to have access to your aws
credentials?
Do you want to setup a test environment just for SQS?

9. 01
The Solution ….
A local SQS Server
ElasticMQ

10. ElasticMQ
01
● A subset of SQS
● In-Memory
● Lightweight
● Embeddable, Stand Alone or via Docker
● Optional UI
● Optional queue persistence

11. Technologies used in ElasticMQ
01
● Scala
● Akka
● Akka-HTTP
