  2. Enhancing Messaging in Amazon SQS FIFO Queues

How do I enhance messaging in Amazon SQS FIFO Queues to ensure reliable and ordered message processing in TypeScript?

In this guide, we will set up an Amazon SQS FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue using Pulumi in TypeScript. This queue will ensure reliable and ordered message processing. We will configure the queue with necessary properties such as content-based deduplication and message group ID to maintain the order of messages.

Key Points

  1. FIFO Queue: Ensures messages are processed in the order they are sent.
  2. Content-Based Deduplication: Prevents duplicate messages.
  3. Message Group ID: Ensures messages within the same group are processed in order.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an SQS FIFO queue
const fifoQueue = new aws.sqs.Queue("myFifoQueue", {
    name: "myFifoQueue.fifo", // FIFO queues must have the .fifo suffix
    fifoQueue: true,
    contentBasedDeduplication: true, // Enable content-based deduplication
    visibilityTimeoutSeconds: 30, // The duration (in seconds) that the received messages are hidden from subsequent retrieve requests
    messageRetentionSeconds: 1209600, // The number of seconds Amazon SQS retains a message (14 days)
    receiveWaitTimeSeconds: 20, // The amount of time that the ReceiveMessage action waits for a message to arrive (long polling)
    redrivePolicy: JSON.stringify({
        deadLetterTargetArn: "arn:aws:sqs:us-west-2:123456789012:myDeadLetterQueue",
        maxReceiveCount: 5 // The number of times a message is delivered to the source queue before being moved to the dead-letter queue
    }),
    tags: {
        Environment: "Production",
        Application: "MyApp",
    },
});

// Export the queue URL
export const fifoQueueUrl = fifoQueue.url;

Concluding Summary

In this guide, we created an Amazon SQS FIFO queue using Pulumi in TypeScript. We ensured reliable and ordered message processing by enabling content-based deduplication and setting a message group ID. The queue is configured with a visibility timeout, message retention period, long polling, and a redrive policy for dead-letter queue handling. This setup enhances the reliability and order of message processing in your application.
