Queue

Learn how to create, configure, and manage AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues using Alchemy for message queuing.

The Queue resource lets you create and manage Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues for reliable message delivery between distributed application components.

Minimal Example

Create a standard SQS queue with default settings:

import { Queue } from "alchemy/aws";

const queue = await Queue("my-queue", {
  queueName: "my-queue",
  tags: {
    Environment: "production",
  },
});

FIFO Queue

Create a FIFO queue with content-based deduplication:

import { Queue } from "alchemy/aws";

const fifoQueue = await Queue("orders-queue", {
  queueName: "orders-queue.fifo",
  fifo: true,
  contentBasedDeduplication: true,
  visibilityTimeout: 30,
});

Custom Queue Configuration

Create a queue with custom message handling settings:

import { Queue } from "alchemy/aws";

const customQueue = await Queue("large-messages", {
  queueName: "large-messages",
  messageRetentionPeriod: 345600, // 4 days
  maximumMessageSize: 262144, // 256 KB
  visibilityTimeout: 60,
  delaySeconds: 5,
  receiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds: 20,
});
