history
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.
