Shoryuken is a super-efficient, thread-based message processor for Amazon SQS written in Ruby. It integrates with Rails Active Job and provides queue load balancing, per-queue concurrency, batch processing, and an SQS CLI.

Use cases

• process Amazon SQS messages in a Ruby application
• run background jobs with Rails Active Job backed by SQS
• consume SQS queues with configurable concurrency per queue
• batch process SQS messages efficiently
• manage and inspect SQS queues from the command line
• retry failed messages with exponential backoff
• load balance message processing across multiple queues

When to choose

• your Ruby or Rails app uses Amazon SQS as its message queue
• you need Active Job integration with SQS as the backend
• you want thread-based, high-throughput SQS consumption with batch support
• you need fine-grained control over per-queue concurrency and visibility timeouts

When to avoid

• you use RabbitMQ, Kafka, or a non-SQS broker
• you need a process-based job system like Sidekiq with Redis
• your project is not in the Ruby ecosystem
