Simple SQS Extended Client

The package has been moved to https://github.com/DefectiveCode/laravel-sqs-extended. Please read the migration guide and update your project accordingly.

Introduction

Simple SQS Extended Client is a Laravel queue driver that was designed to work around the AWS SQS 256KB payload size limits. This queue driver will automatically serialize large payloads to a disk (typically S3) and then unserialize them at run time.

Support

You may request professional support by emailing [email protected]. All requests for support require a $200 / hour fee. All other support will be provided by the open source community.

Install

1. First create a disk that will hold all of your large SQS payloads.

We highly recommend you use a private bucket when storing SQS payloads. Payloads can contain sensitive information and should never be shared publicly.

2. Run composer require simplesoftwareio/simple-sqs-extended-client "~1" to install the queue driver.

3. Then, add the following default queue settings to your queue.php file.

Laravel Vapor users must set the connection name set to sqs. The sqs connection is looked for within Vapor Core and this library will not work as expected if you use a different connection name.

  | SQS Disk Queue Configuration
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  |
  | Here you may configure the SQS disk queue driver.  It shares all of the same
  | configuration options from the built in Laravel SQS queue driver.  The only added
  | option is `disk_options` which are explained below.
  |
  | always_store: Determines if all payloads should be stored on a disk regardless if they are over SQS's 256KB limit.
  | cleanup:      Determines if the payload files should be removed from the disk once the job is processed. Leaveing the
  |                 files behind can be useful to replay the queue jobs later for debugging reasons.
  | disk:         The disk to save SQS payloads to.  This disk should be configured in your Laravel filesystems.php config file.
  | prefix        The prefix (folder) to store the payloads with.  This is useful if you are sharing a disk with other SQS queues.
  |                 Using a prefix allows for the queue:clear command to destroy the files separately from other sqs-disk backed queues
  |                 sharing the same disk.
