sns-to-sqs-local

A developer tool that starts a local web server, creates a public tunnel connection to it via ngrok, and subscribes a SNS topic to the public address auto generated by ngrok. SNS messages sent to the web server are forwarded to a local or remote SQS queue.

It is meant to be used during development to provide a stream of sample data while developing and debugging a queue consuming service. This allows the service to be debugged in as-close-production type of environment.

Quick Test

• download or clone project
• make a copy of local-template.env as local.env.
• update local.env with desired variables.
• execute: docker-compose up subscriber consumer
• send Message to the sns topic

How to Consume for Existing Projects

On its own, this project is worthless. Its logic and config is meants to be consumed by other projects that forwards sns notifications to queue to be consumed by a queue consumer. So here is high-level overview on how to import to a existing project.

• download or clone project
• copy subscriber directory to existing project
• add subscriber service to existing docker-compose
  • update any docker-compose that may need to be changed
• import env variables to projects (see local-template.env)
• update any variables or settings that are required
