This is a Amazon SQS POC using Laravel 5.6

How to use

The instructions below shows the steps to run this POC:

Laravel Install

1. Clone this repository
2. Use docker-compose up -d to start the PHP container
3. Copy .env.example to .env
4. Change permissions for storage and bootstrap/cache folders using sudo chown -R http:http <folder_name>
5. Enter on PHP docker container bash using docker-compose exec php bash and navigate to /var/www
6. Run composer install to install all dependencies
7. Run php artisan key:generate to generate .env APP_KEY
8. exit PHP docker container bash using exit
9. Using your web browser, go to http://localhost and you will see your welcome page

Configuring environment

1. Create an IAM user on AWS Panel with AmazonSQSFullAccess policy
2. Replace the QUEUE_DRIVER on .env to sqs
3. Use the IAM Key and Secret and replace the SQS_KEY and SQS_SECRET on .env, respectively
4. Create a SQS queue on AWS Panel
5. Replace SQS_QUEUE config on .env with the queue name
6. Replace SQS_REGION config on .env with the region where the quere is
7. Replace SQS_PREFIX config on .env with the queue URL (without the queue name at the end)
8. From the welcome page, click on TEST A SINGLE QUEUE or TEST A CHAINED QUEUE and you should see that the message was sent to SQS! (I hope! :D)
9. Verify SQS Panel on AWS and see that your queue has a new message (only if you disable supervisor on docker container, otherwise it will be hard to see the messages on Amazon SQS Panel)
10. Use docker-compose exec php bash, navigate to /var/www and run php artisan queue:work. You should see that ProcessStandard Job was executed. (Use ctrl + C to stop)
11. Go to /var/www/storage/logs/laravel.log and you should see some Jobs strings (I hope again! :D)
12. The supervisor will be running 2 worker to process your queue. So you don't need to be worry about that, just open storage/logs/amazon-sqs-worker.log to see which Job was processed or go to storage/logs/laravel.log to see some Jobs strings (to simulate the work that should be done).
