Overview

Provides an expressive, object-oriented interface to Amazon SQS.

Credentials

You can setup default credentials for all AWS services via AWS.config:

AWS.config(
  :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
  :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')

Or you can set them directly on the SQS interface:

sqs = AWS::SQS.new(
  :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
  :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')

Queues and Messages

Amazon SQS is a distributed queue system that enables web service applications to quickly and reliably queue messages that one component in the application generates to be consumed by another component. A queue is a temporary repository for messages that are awaiting processing.

You can access your queues using the #queues collection. For example, to create a queue, use QueueCollection#create:

queue = sqs.queues.create("myqueue")

Or to find out what queues you have in your account:

pp sqs.queues.collect(&:url)

See the Queue class for more information on how to send and receive messages.
