Quarkus Demo: Amazon SQS Client

This example showcases how to use the AWS SQS client with Quarkus.

Run the Demo in Dev Mode

• Run ./mvnw clean quarkus:dev

Send messages to the queue

Shoot with a couple of quarks:

curl -XPOST -H "Content-type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/sync/cannon/shoot -d '{"flavor": "Charm", "spin": "1/2"}'
curl -XPOST -H "Content-type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/sync/cannon/shoot -d '{"flavor": "Strange", "spin": "1/2"}'

And receive them from the queue:

curl http://localhost:8080/sync/shield

Test the async endpoints

Replace sync with async in the examples above to test the asynchronous endpoints.

Using LocalStack

As a prerequisite, install the AWS Command Line Interface.

Start LocalStack:

docker run \
 --rm \
 --name local-sqs \
 -p 4566:4566 \
 localstack/localstack

SQS listens on localhost:4566 for REST endpoints.

Create an AWS profile for your local instance using AWS CLI:

aws configure --profile localstack

AWS Access Key ID [None]: test-key
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: test-secret
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]:

Create SQS queue

Create a SQS queue:

aws sqs create-queue --queue-name=Quarkus --profile localstack --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566

Run the demo

You can compile the application and run it with:

./mvnw install
AWS_PROFILE=localstack java -Dquarkus.sqs.endpoint-override=http://localhost:4566 -jar ./target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

Running in native

You can compile the application into a native executable using:

./mvnw install -Dnative

And run it with:

AWS_PROFILE=localstack ./target/amazon-sqs-quickstart-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner -Dquarkus.sqs.endpoint-override=http://localhost:4566

Running native in container

Build a native image in a container by running:

./mvnw install -Dnative -DskipTests -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

Build a Docker image:

docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native -t quarkus/amazon-sqs-quickstart .

Create a network that connects your container with LocalStack:

docker network create localstack

Stop your LocalStack container you started at the beginning:

docker stop local-sqs

Start LocalStack and connect to the network:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --name local-sqs \
  --network=localstack \
  -p 4566:4566 \
  localstack/localstack

Create a queue:

aws sqs create-queue --queue-name=Quarkus --profile localstack --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566

Run the Quickstart container connected to that network (note that we're using the internal port of the LocalStack container):

docker run -i --rm --network=localstack \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e QUARKUS_SQS_ENDPOINT_OVERRIDE="http://local-sqs:4566" \
  -e QUARKUS_SQS_AWS_REGION="us-east-1" \
  -e QUARKUS_SQS_AWS_CREDENTIALS_TYPE="static" \
  -e QUARKUS_SQS_AWS_CREDENTIALS_STATIC_PROVIDER_ACCESS_KEY_ID="test-key" \
  -e QUARKUS_SQS_AWS_CREDENTIALS_STATIC_PROVIDER_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="test-secret" \
  quarkus/amazon-sqs-quickstart

You can now replay the curl commands above.

Clean up your environment:

docker stop local-sqs
docker network rm localstack

Using AWS account

Before you can use the AWS SDKs with SQS, you must get an AWS access key ID and secret access key. For more information, see:

• Sign up for AWS and Create an IAM User
• Set Up AWS Credentials and Region for Development

Create a SQS queue and store the queue url in an environment variable as we will need to provide it to the our app:

QUEUE_URL=`aws sqs create-queue --queue-name=ColliderQueue`

Run demo

You can run the demo the same way as for a local instance, but you don't need to override the endpoint as you are going to communicate with the AWS service with the default AWS profile.

Run it:

java -Dqueue.url=$QUEUE_URL -jar ./target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

Or, run it natively:

./target/amazon-sqs-quickstart-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner -Dqueue.url=$QUEUE_URL
