A New Set of APIs for Amazon SQS Dead-Letter Queue Redrive
Today, we launch a new set of APIs for Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS). These new APIs allow you to manage dead-letter queue (DLQ) redrive programmatically. You can now use the AWS SDKs or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to programmatically move messages from the DLQ to their original queue, or to a custom queue destination, to attempt to process them again. A DLQ is a queue where Amazon SQS automatically moves messages that are not correctly processed by your consumer application.

First launched in 2016, AWS DMS offers a simple migration process that automates database migration projects, saving time, resources, and money. Although you can start AWS DMS migration with a few clicks through the console, you still need to do research and planning to determine the required capacity before migrating. It can be challenging to know how to properly scale capacity ahead of time, especially when simultaneously migrating many workloads or continuously replicating data. On top…
