I have a Shopify app that has been crashing at the same time for the last two days because a new customer keeps slamming my server with webhook requests. Shopify provides an integration with Amazon EventBridge, and I'm thinking maybe it is time to take advantage of it. The only issue is that I would need those events to go to SQS, and I'm currently using Sidekiq and Redis.
I was thinking of trying to migrate to Shoryuken, until I saw that it is possible the project could be archived in the near future. There is the AWS SDK for Rails, which seems like it could be a good option?
The other issue is that I am not familiar with SQS at all. I know Sidekiq and Redis as I have been using it for years. Would I be better off just scaling my servers to handle more traffic? Am I going to shoot myself in the foot with some unknown feature of how SQS works?
