In-memory SQS For Unit Testing
If you need an in-memory, functional SQS client during unit tests you can now use github.com/elliotchance/mocksqs.
Getting Started
The simplest way to create a new SQS service is with mocksqs.New(). However, if you need queues prepopulated you can use mocksqs.NewWithQueues():
Wherever you pass around an SQS client in your application, you should use the sqsiface.SQSAPI interface.
