Minimal example using ElastiMQ between docker containers in a simple TypeScript project. It creates two docker containers, one running SQS (ElasticMQ) and one with a Serverless project.

One queue is created TestQueue in the SQS container. The Serverless container provides a API Gateway handler with the following endpoint http://localhost:3000/echo which takes a query parameter QueueMessage. Sending a message to the endpoint adds a message to the SQS queue and a handler in Serverless will take care of the resulting SQS event and pring the message to console.

Getting started

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Use postman (or something equivalent) to send a HTTP request:

GET http://localhost:3000/echo?QueueMessage=<Some message>

The setup of queues is very much inspired by the example provided by Arthur (godu) Weber
