Introduction

A demo application illustrating the use of the AWS MQ API with LocalStack. The sample creates a message broker, connects to it, sends a message to a queue, and cleans up the broker.

Prerequisites

• A valid LocalStack for AWS license. Your license provides a LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN to activate LocalStack.
• Docker
• localstack CLI
• awslocal CLI

Check prerequisites

make check

Installation

make install

Start LocalStack

export LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-auth-token>
make start

Run the application

make run

The script creates an MQ broker, retrieves the broker endpoint, sends a message to the queue, and deletes the broker.

You should see output similar to:

$ make run
Creating MQ broker in LocalStack ...
