SQS

Message queues for communicating between stuff, incluiding lambdas and anything else.

#{"QueueUrl": "https://eu-west-1.queue.amazonaws.com/901610709743/boto_tut_sqs"}
sqs = boto3.client('sqs') #make the client
queue_url = 'https://eu-west-1.queue.amazonaws.com/901610709743/boto_tut_sqs' #use a url for the queue



In [7]:

    
# Send a message to an SQS queue
response = sqs.send_message(
    QueueUrl=queue_url,
    DelaySeconds=10,
    MessageAttributes={'Title': {'DataType': 'String',
                                 'StringValue': 'Solanum tuberosum'
                                }
                      },
    MessageBody=('Thats the non-vulgar name of potatoes, you barbarian.')
)
