## Project history and usage

SQS Message Mover is a small Go command-line tool for moving AWS SQS messages from one queue to another, with dead-letter queue recovery called out as its main use case.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in 2016 and the official README presents the tool as a single-purpose operational utility: it resolves queue names, copies message attributes, supports FIFO queues, batches work, and deletes source messages only after enqueueing them to the destination.

### Adoption history

The official README documents Homebrew, Chocolatey, shell-script, source, and manual binary installation paths, which is typical for a small infrastructure CLI meant to be grabbed during incident cleanup or queue maintenance.

### How it is used

Users run sqsmover with source and destination queue names, optional region/profile/endpoint flags, and batch or limit controls. It relies on the standard AWS shared credentials file, optional AWS config file, or AWS environment variables.

### Why package nerds care

Package-manager users care because it turns a common SQS dead-letter queue chore into a packaged binary instead of a one-off script, while still fitting normal AWS CLI credential conventions.

### Timeline

- 2016: GitHub repository created.
- 2020: v0.3.x releases published with prebuilt binaries.
- 2021: v0.4.0 published.
