aws-drq-consumer v2.0.0-beta.2

aws-drq-consumer v2.0.0-beta.2

An AWS Lambda that will consume unusable, "dead" records from a Dead Record Queue (DRQ) Kinesis stream and save them to DynamoDB. Alternatively, can be used as a module to configure another more-customised version of a DRQ consumer Lambda.

Modules:

• drq-consumer.js module
  • An AWS Lambda that will consume unusable, "dead" records from a Dead Record Queue (DRQ) Kinesis stream and save them to DynamoDB

Purpose

The goal of the AWS Dead Record Queue (DRQ) consumer functions is to robustly consume unusable/dead records from an AWS Kinesis DeadRecordQueue stream and save them to a DynamoDB DeadRecord table.

Installation

This module is exported as a Node.js module.

Using npm:

$ {sudo -H} npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save aws-drq-consumer

Usage

• Install it as an AWS Lambda function with its event source set to your DeadRecordQueue Kinesis stream.

• Alternatively, use the aws-drq-consumer module as a source of functions to be possibly re-used in your own custom DRQ consumer implementation.

Unit tests

This module's unit tests were developed with and must be run with tape. The unit tests have been tested on Node.js v6.10.3.

Install tape globally if you want to run multiple tests at once:

$ npm install tape -g

Run all unit tests with:

$ npm test

or with tape:

$ tape test/*.js

See the package source for more details.
