This is meant as a side project to teach myself Go. This definitely needs a lot of work, and I probably picked something a little too complex for my first foray into learning Go. Any help or contributions would be greatly appreciated :) ❤️

Basic utility to slurp messages off of an SQS queue and place them into a database.

Goal: To be a fully configurable, lightweight, SQS polling service

Config is unmarshalled from a YAML file, currently called config.yml

Sample Config:

---
region: "<aws_region>"
queue_url: "<sqs_queue url>"
message_attributes:
  - "Attribute"
  - "Another Attribute"
export_as: "json"
export_path: "output.json"

You can currently export any messages found into a json file. Work will probably continue on this, so that json values aren't duplicated if the tool is ran as a daemon

Currently config only supports String attributes

• Create a daemon from CLI utility
• Expand SQS Configuration ability
• Debug why 10% of the time, no data is returned, yet no error thrown
• Expand Message Attribute Configuration, to match DataType of Attributes
• Only read Messages from top of queue (Or add configuration to read from bottom)
• Allow for deletion of messages once sent to storage
• Split single package into multiple packages for easier writing and expandability
• Add Database Output + Config for:
  • RDS
  • MySQL
  • DynamoDB
  • Postgres
• Better Documentation
• Test Suite

• "Cool that looks like it was fun to make"
• "That's Baddass!"
• "Looks horrible. Who would make such a thing?"
