Simple SQS Extended Client
==========================

[](#simple-sqs-extended-client)

> The package has been moved to . Please read the migration guide and update your project accordingly.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Simple SQS Extended Client is a Laravel queue driver that was designed to work around the AWS SQS 256KB payload size limits. This queue driver will automatically serialize large payloads to a disk (typically S3) and then unserialize them at run time.

Support
-------

[](#support)

You may request professional support by emailing . All requests for support require a $200 / hour fee. All other support will be provided by the open source community.

Install
-------

[](#install)

1. First create a disk that will hold all of your large SQS payloads.

> We highly recommend you use a *private* bucket when storing SQS payloads. Payloads can contain sensitive information and should never be shared publicly.

2. Run `composer require simplesoftwareio/simple-sqs-extended-client "~1"` to install the queue driver.
3. Then, add the following default queue settings to your `queue.php` file.

> Laravel Vapor users must set the connection name set to `sqs`. The `sqs` connection is looked for within Vapor Core and this library will not work as expected if you use a different connection name.

```

  | SQS Disk Queue Configuration
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  |
  | Here you may configure the SQS disk queue driver.  It shares all of the same
  | configuration options from the built in Laravel SQS queue driver.  The only added
  | option is `disk_options` which are explained below.
  |
  | always_store: Determines if all payloads should be stored on a disk regardless if they are over SQS's 256KB limit.
  | cleanup:      Determines if the payload files should be removed from the disk once the job is processed. Leaveing the
  |                 files behind can be useful to replay the queue jobs later for debugging reasons.
  | disk:         The disk to save SQS payloads to.  This disk should be configured in your Laravel filesystems.php config file.
  | prefix        The prefix (folder) to store the payloads with.  This is useful if you are sharing a disk with other SQS queues.
  |                 Using a prefix allows for the queue:clear command to destroy the files separately from other sqs-disk backed queues
  |                 sharing the same disk.
