Release Date: October 27, 2025
Version: 1.0.0
Type: Major Release - Initial Launch

🎉 What is BoxQ?

BoxQ is an enterprise-grade SQS library for Node.js that provides a robust, production-ready solution for AWS SQS message processing. Built with reliability, performance, and developer experience in mind.

✨ Key Features

🛡️ Enterprise-Grade Reliability

  • Circuit Breaker Pattern: Automatic failure detection and recovery
  • Retry Logic: Exponential backoff with configurable retry strategies
  • Health Monitoring: Real-time system health checks and metrics
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error management and logging

⚡ High Performance

  • Long Polling Support: Up to 90% reduction in API calls
  • Batch Processing: Efficient bulk message operations
  • Parallel Processing: Multi-threaded message consumption
  • Memory Efficient: Optimized for low resource consumption

🔧 Developer Experience

  • TypeScript Support: Full type definitions and IntelliSense
  • Comprehensive Documentation: JSDoc-generated API docs
  • Rich Examples: 7+ practical usage examples
  • Express.js Integration: Ready-to-use microservice templates

🔒 Production Ready

  • Security First: No hardcoded credentials, secure by default
  • Monitoring: Built-in metrics and health checks
  • Testing: 142 comprehensive tests with 76%+ coverage
  • CI/CD: Automated testing, building, and publishing

📦 Installation

npm install boxq
# or
yarn add boxq

🚀 Quick Start

const { BoxQ } = require('boxq');

// Initialize BoxQ
const sqs = new BoxQ({
  region: 'us-east-1',
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  }
});

// Create publisher
const publisher = sqs.createPublisher('my-queue.fifo', {
  messageGroupId: 'my-group',
  enableDeduplication: true
});

// Create consumer
const consumer = sqs.createConsumer('my-queue.fifo', {
  processingMode: 'sequential',
  waitTimeSeconds: 20, // Long polling
  maxMessages: 10
});

// Publish message
await publisher.publish({
  type: 'user-registration',
  userId: 12345,
  data: { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' }
});

// Consume messages
consumer.start(async (message, context) => {
  console.log(`Processing message: ${context.messageId}`);
  // Process your message here
  return { success: true };
});
