Show HN: Go-SQS-Worker – A Simple and Scalable Async Job Library for AWS SQS

1 point

a year ago

I recently built go-sqs-worker, a Go library for managing asynchronous jobs using AWS SQS. It’s designed to strike a balance between simplicity and scalability, addressing common backend needs like background email processing or task retries without the complexity of Kafka or AWS Step Functions.

Features:

- Clean producer/consumer separation

- Exponential backoff and retry management

- Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) support

To make monitoring easier, I also built a job viewer, inspired by Sidekiq, with features to inspect job details visually.

Would love your feedback and thoughts on improving it!
