Recreating this Demo

If you want, you can recreate this demo outside of class to play around with SQS queues.

You'll need to create a standard SQS queue and then update add-message.py and process-messages.py with your AWS account id and the name of the queue you created.

Then, you can post messages as follows:

$ python add-messages.py
...

Or multiple at once:

$ python add-messages.py -n=10
...
