Multiple queues in a single node process

[daniel-white]

Summary

I know in other languages/runtimes with real threads, like .NET, I can create 2 separate queue pollers on separate threads. Node doesn't have a clean analog of that.

If I were to design a service to consume more than 1 separate SQS queues, is it safe to have multiple Consumer.create instances, sharing an SQS client (or not)? Any indications on how long polling would function? Would it be "safe", meaning no race conditions between the consumers?

TIA.

Hey, sorry for the delay, this got lost in my notifications.

I believe this would be fine to do, however, I honestly don't know if we are doing this internally, generally, we are using this package for an individual queue not multiple.

I don't know if the community has any examples of where they are doing this, but I am sure I have heard from people who have before.

Sorry if that isn't very helpful.
