So I assume it does the back-end as well?

I never cared to figure out what parts of SQS are clients-side and server side, but - does SmoothMQ support long polling, batch delivery, visibility timeouts, error handling, and - triggers? Or are triggers left to whatever is implementing the queue? Both FiFo and simple queues? Do you have throughput numbers?

As an SQS user, a table of SQS features vs SmoothMQ would be handy. If it's just an API-compatible front-end then that would be good to know. But if it does more that would also be good to know.

The reason you'd use this is because there are lots of clients who still want on-prem solutions (go figure). Being able to switch targets this way would be handy.



Everything here is on the backend. The client does very little except make api calls.

It implements many of these features so far (ie, visibility timeouts) and there are some that are still in progress (long polling.) a compatibility table is a good idea.
