README

The Amazon SQS Extended Client Library for PHP enables you to manage Amazon SQS message payloads with Amazon S3. This is especially useful for storing and retrieving messages with a message payload size greater than the current SQS limit of 256 KB, up to a maximum of 2 GB. Specifically, you can use this library to:

• Specify whether message payloads are always stored in Amazon S3 or only when a message's size exceeds a max size (defaults to 256 KB).
• Send a message that references a single message object stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.
• Get the corresponding message object from an Amazon S3 bucket.
• Delete the corresponding message object from an Amazon S3 bucket.

You can install this library using composer doing:

composer require costcertified/amazon-sqs-php-extended-client-lib
