Blog - Ben Nadel - Producing And Consuming Amazon SQS Messages In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201
A year ago, I shed some light on my quest to merge microservices back into my ColdFusion monolith. For my size team and the type of domain boundaries that we have, a monolith just makes the most sense. And while I've been thrilled with the progress my team has made in its re-consolidation efforts, there's one more microservice that I've had my eye on for a long time. This microservice has eluded my grasp, however, because it interacts with a message queue. And, to date, all parts of the legacy platform that deal with message queues live outside of the monolith. As such, if I ever want to pull this microservice back into the monolith, I have to figure out how to use message queues in ColdFusion. To start with, I wanted to see if I could simply produce and consume Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) messages in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.
