Persistency with ElasticMQ

[Chen Harel]

Hi Adam - I was wondering why there's no file-backend support for ElasticMQ. It seems as all queues are dead between process runs and on GitHub (https://github.com/adamw/elasticmq/issues/40) you mentioned there's no plan to add persistency.

I was wondering is this a product, architecture or performance decision? 

Thanks

ElasticMQ is used (I think :) ) mostly for testing apps which normally talk to SQS, so you usually don’t need any persistence in tests, in-memory is fine.

There’s a lot of great queueing products out there which offer persistence, hence I’m not sure if it would make sense to make yet another.

Unless, of course, you have a compelling use-case? :)

Hi Adam, do you have another SQS-compatible, file persistency disk, FOSS queue to recommend?

I have a project which heavily uses SQS and I now want to investigate running it on another environment where AWS is not available.

Thanks

I don’t think there’s any queue with an SQS interface, but I think it should be quite easy to add your own thin wrapper for another queue.

If you want data to be persistent AND replicated, take a look at: https://softwaremill.com/mqperf/

Otherwise, there’s a lot of queueing projects available … I’d probably first look at RabbitMQ
