Background Processes in Lambda Using Amazon SQS

Here we are going to use Amazon SQS to run background processes in Lambda

Prerequisites

• You’ll need an AWS account for this. If you don’t yet have one, sign up for a free account here.

• If you don’t have Go installed yet, you can either download an installer from the official website or use your favorite package manager to install it.

• For building and deploying your functions, you’ll be using the Serverless Framework. Assuming you have a recent version of Node.js installed, you can install the Serverless CLI with the following npm command

     $ npm install -g serverless

  Once you have the Serverless CLI installed, you must configure it to use the AWS access keys of your account

     $ serverless config credentials --provider aws --key <access key ID> --secret <secret access key>

• Create SQS in your amazon account and replace your sqs arn with the last line of serverless.yml where it mentioned.

Build and Deploy
