AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides a worker tier environment which can read from an AWS SQS queue and send the contents to a service you are running. This project simulates the worker process which AWS automatically adds for you when deploying an Elastic Beanstalk environment. This way you can test your worker application locally.
You must configure an SQS queue to read messages from and your application's target URL. Then when you run the application, it periodically reads from the queue, and makes an HTTP request to your application.
You must install JDK 8 and above to build and run the simulator. To install the simulator, clone this repository.
Add a config/application.properties file to the root of the cloned Git directory.
accessKey=<Your AWS Access Key>
secretKey=<Your AWS Secret Key>
queueUrl=<Your full SQS Queue URL>
targetUrl=<The URL of Your Service>
It might look some somthing like the following.
accessKey=AKI*************
secretKey=kY7ak*******************
queueUrl=https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/34**********/my-queue-name
targetUrl=http://localhost:8080/myendpoint
Run ./gradlew bootRun
(or on Windows: ./gradlew.bat bootRun)
The Config.java class documents all the configuration parameters. Any of the fields with an @Value annotation are configurable.
See the application.properties file for the default values that the simulator uses when running. You can override any of these in your config/application.properties file.
