SQS Message Redriver

Sqsrd is a utility to aid in "redriving" SQS messages. Typically, this is useful when an SQS queue has an associated dead-letter queue (DLQ), and you wish to move messages from the DLQ back onto the source queue for reprocessing.

Quickstart

Download the latest release of sqsrd

wget https://github.com/jasonrdsouza/sqsrd/releases/download/v0.2/sqsrd

Make the sqsrd binary executable (optionally, add it to your shell path)

chmod +x sqsrd

Run sqsrd with the desired options

# example help dialog
./sqsrd -h

# minimal example of redriving a DLQ
# replace region and queue URLs with your own values
sqsrd -region "us-west-2" -source "https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/123456789000/sqs-queue-name" -dest "https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/123456789000/sqs-queue-name-dlq"

# redrive using custom AWS credential profile
sqsrd -region "us-west-2" -profile "myprofile" -source "https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/123456789000/sqs-queue-name" -dest "https://sqs.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/123456789000/sqs-queue-name-dlq"

By default, sqsrd will pull credentials from the default AWS credentials file. It also supports using named profiles via the -profile flag.
