  @Abdul, Hello, well the SQS problem is that it's not meant for fast org large amount messages handling. You also could consider other options like Kafka/Amazon Kinesis. Why so? You pay also for polling, if the poll time gets too small you make too many poll requests. That's why I suggested using si... read more »

  @Abdul, Good question, you don't need a separate module for that there is already cluster module. The polling would remain same, you need to use cluster workers to consume messages faster.... read more »

  @Ben, True, the resources are never freed up as the memory usage gets higher, so be careful if you are running the queue polling in limited memory environments like Heroku etc. I made quick benchmark, removed all the unnecessary abstractions and other Node modules which are not needed. Example i... read more »

  Well written article, you should have written this two weeks earlier than I wouldn't reinvent similar queue handling. I got actually similar solution for the queue handling, only the problems comes with memory leaking. I am using the heroku worker dyno to run my example, but it takes about one day t... read more »
