Description
When SQS is configured with a redrive policy into a dead letter queue, jobs that have not been processed correctly should end up in the DLQ after reaching the configured max receive count.
Changes
Messages will no longer be deleted from the queue after failing for the max receive count configured in the queue, and therefore SQS will handle sending messages to the DLQ.
If the main lambdakiq retry config, or a specific job retry config is less than the queue retry number, then the messages will still be deleted, otherwise SQS would continue to execute lambda until the queue max receive is reached and the configuration of retries would not be honored.
