CLI

skippr connect source sqs \
  --queue-url https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/123/my-queue \
  --region us-east-1 \

  --mode stream

Authentication

Authentication uses the AWS default credential chain.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• IAM roles, instance profiles, or task roles
• AWS SSO or shared config profiles

Permissions or Network Requirements

The AWS principal needs sqs:ReceiveMessage, sqs:DeleteMessage, and sqs:GetQueueAttributes on the selected queue. The runner must also be able to reach the SQS endpoint in the configured region.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
AccessDenied or queue errors	Verify the AWS credential chain, queue URL, region, and SQS permissions.
no messages arriving	Check that producers are sending to the expected queue and that the queue is not empty.
