replay-aws-dlq

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool to re-drive AWS SQS Dead Letter Queue messages to another queue, often used to reprocess failed messages. Current stable version 1.0.1, no active release cadence. Key differentiator: simple cmd-line usage without code changes, supports FIFO queues with deduplication caveats. Use AWS SDK environment variables or profiles for cross-account operations.
