sqs-queue-processor

An event-based AWS SQS queue processor library for Node.js (v1.0.0, stable). It provides long polling with customizable options, emits events for message processing lifecycle (start, stop, before_poll, after_poll, message, error), and supports custom message parsing. Differentiators: simple event-driven API, no external dependencies beyond AWS SDK, and automatic long polling. Ideal for lightweight SQS message consumption without full framework overhead.
