NodeJS workers in AWS EBS

NodeJS workers in AWS EBS

We tested NodeJS workers in AWS EBS using slightly different architectures:

1. with sqsd provided out-of-the-box (OOTB) in an AWS VM which would pull from SQS and hand a message to our worker.

2. with a nodejs sqsd standalone component which would pull from SQS and hand a message to our worker.

3. with our worker pulling a message directly from SQS itself.

   • This is similar to the architecture described for PHP workers in AWS EBS with one important distinction, the supervisor isn't involved.
