⁠What is Amazon SQS?

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.

Messages sent through Amazon SQS are stored in a queue until they are processed or deleted. The service can transmit any volume of data without losing messages or requiring additional services. It integrates with other AWS services to build scalable and reliable solutions.

Amazon SQS offers two types of queues: standard queues and FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queues. Standard queues offer at-least-once delivery, while FIFO queues offer exactly-once delivery.

⁠What does this image do?

This app is built with Node.js and acts as an SQS consumer: it polls a queue, reads incoming messages, and prints them to stdout.

⁠How to use this image

You can use either the Docker CLI or Docker Compose.

⁠Required

You must pass the -e QUEUE_URL=<YOUR_SQS_QUEUE_URL> environment variable.

⁠docker-compose (recommended)

⁠Supported architectures

Both architectures are bundled in the same multi-arch manifest — no separate tags needed.

⁠Environment variables

⁠Running on Raspberry Pi

The image supports linux/arm64 natively, so it works on any Raspberry Pi running a 64-bit OS:
