Actually pretty excited to try this, there are so many cases where I need a bare-bones (aka "simple"), local, persistent queue, but all the usual suspects (amqp, apache whatever, cloud nonsense, etc.) are way too heavy.

I'll probably try poking at it directly through the HTTP API rather than an SDK ... does it need AWS V4 auth signatures or anything?



The only HTTP API that is exposed is actually the SQS one. (I'm not opposed to a "regular" HTTP API but the goal was to make it easy for people to use existing libraries.)

If you do use your language's AWS SDK, the code handles [1] all of the V4 auth stuff. https://github.com/poundifdef/SmoothMQ/blob/main/protocols/s...

I'd love your feedback! Particularly the difficulties you find in running it, of which I'm sure there are many, so I can fix them or update docs.


I'd also give a shout out to beanstalkd. I use it to teach message systems and it's great.
