Ruby1.9 and Amazon SQS?

Question

Is there a good library/gem for accessing Amazon SQS from ruby1.9? The Amazon ruby example and right_aws do not work as-is with ruby1.9.

I'd strongly prefer something that's known to work under reasonably heavy load (a few hundred thousand queue items or more per day).

Try the Appoxy AWS library, it was forked from right_aws a while back just for Ruby 1.9 and has come along way since then supporting a lot more than right_aws now.

The official right_aws gem (>=2.0) seems to work with Ruby 1.9.2

http://rubygems.org/gems/right_aws

UPDATE: Amazon recently made an official gem which has SQS support: http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforruby/

Appoxy AWS has also been updated and works with recent versions of ruby. – fields Jul 03 '14 at 17:41

The comments on isitruby19.com point to a patch and a fork of the right_aws gem which provide Ruby 1.9 support.

Take a look into Sqskiq page for details of how to process messages in background in a easy way. This gem uses celluloid actors (like sidekiq does) and has features to avoid/minimizes sqs costs.

This FanSQS gem supports SQS. I haven't test it with Ruby 1.9 but looks very promising.
