How to get messages receive count in Amazon SQS using boto library in Python?

Question

I am using boto library in Python to get Amazon SQS messages. In exceptional cases I don\'t delete messages from queue in order to give a couple of more changes to recover tempo

Answer 1

Other way could be you can put an extra identifier at the end of the message in your SQS queue. This identifier can keep the count of the number of times the message has been read.

Also if you want that your service should not poll these message again and again then you can create one more queue say "Dead Message Queue" and can transfer then message which has crossed the threshold to this queue.
