SQS Message Mover

SQS Mover lets you move messages from one AWS SQS queue to another. Useful when you need to move deadletter queue messages back into the original queue.

Features

• Reliable delivery. Messages are only deleted from the original queue if they were successfully un-queued to the destination.
• Messages are sent and received in batches for faster processing.
• Progress indicator.
• Queue name resolution. For ease of use, you only need to provide a queue name and not the full arn address.

Building

SQSMover can be built in the local directory with

go build -o sqsmover main.go

Usage

sqsmover --help

usage: ./sqsmover --source=SOURCE --destination=DESTINATION [<flags>]

                                 --help-long and --help-man).

./sqsmover --source=my_source_queue_name --destination=my_destination_queuename --region=eu-west-1
