Assumes

• Node is installed
• Docker for Mac installed

Notes

• LocalStack uses the 'us-east-1' region by default
• The endpoint param is important! If it wasn't defined AWS would request the production endpoint

Setup

1. npm install
2. Install localstack and start: sh ./localstack-install.sh
3. Run localstack localstack start This will start running a docker instance mimicking a local AWS environment
4. In another terminal, run the aws setup: sh ./localstack-env-setup.sh

Running

1. Start queue consumer: node consumer.js

   • This will start listening for messages in the queue.

2. Spawn some messages with the producer in another terminal window: node producer.js

   • You should now see some messages being consumed and the message body being displayed in the console of the listening consumer
