Provides an AWS SQS backend for Advanced Queue, allowing Drupal queues to scale via cloud messaging with dead-letter and failure handling.

Features

The Advanced Queue SQS Plugin replaces the standard database-backed queues with a cloud-native implementation using Amazon SQS.

Basic functionality:

  • Creates queues in SQS that Drupal can push jobs to and process asynchronously.
  • Tracks in-flight and waiting messages to determine queue length.
  • Handles failed jobs via a dead-letter queue, with the ability to mark jobs as failed immediately.

Unique features:

  • AWS-native integration for high scalability and reliability.
  • Drupal-admin configuration for queue creation, optional credentials, and custom SQS settings.
  • Seamlessly translates Drupal queue operations to SQS semantics, including retries and failure handling.

Use cases:

  • Offloading heavy or long-running tasks from your web servers.
  • Scaling job processing across multiple instances without a shared database.
  • Integrating serverless or cloud-based workflows with Drupal.

Post-Installation

  • Install the module like any other Drupal module.
  • Navigate to Configuration → Advanced Queue SQS Plugin.
  • Create new queues by providing a name, optional AWS credentials, and SQS-specific settings.
  • Your queues are now available for Drupal jobs; standard Drupal queue operations will use SQS under the hood.
  • Optionally configure dead-letter queues to capture failed jobs.

Additional Requirements

  • Requires Drupal Advanced Queue module.
  • Requires AWS PHP SDK (typically included via Composer).
  • Access to an AWS account with permissions to manage SQS queues.

Recommended Modules/Libraries

  • Advanced Queue Monitor – for visual monitoring of queues.
  • Queue Worker Enhancements – for improved handling of long-running jobs.

Similar Projects

The default Advanced Queue backend uses SQL-based queues. This module differs by enabling cloud-based scaling with SQS, dead-letter queue handling, and automatic failure translation, which the database backend cannot handle natively.
