Today, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) announces support for dead-letter queue redrive for FIFO queues. Dead-letter queue redrive is an enhanced capability to improve the dead-letter queue management experience for Amazon SQS customers. Amazon SQS already supports redriving messages from a standard dead-letter queue to a standard source queues or a standard custom destination queue. Now SQS customers can also redrive messages from a FIFO dead-letter queue to FIFO source queues or FIFO custom destination queues.
Customers increasingly use distributed systems with event-driven architectures, making their applications more efficient, scalable, and reliable. Sometimes errors occur in the distributed systems, such as a consumer is not able to successfully consume the messages from the queue. In such error cases, Amazon SQS moves the unconsumed message to a dead-letter queue, if configured. This enables customers to inspect messages that are not consumed successfully and debug their application failures without losing any messages. SQS customers can use SQS Console, Amazon SDK or CLI to move messages from the dead-letter queue to a FIFO queue.
To get started with dead-letter queue redrive for FIFO, see SQS Documentation for more information on how to redrive messages using the SQS Console, Amazon SDK and CLI.
Dead-letter queue redrive for FIFO queues is available in both Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
