Dead Letter Queues
If a message can't be consumed successfully, you can send it to a dead-letter queue (DLQ).
Dead-letter queues let you isolate problematic messages to determine why they are failing.
The
Maximum receivesvalue determines when a message will be sent to the DLQ.Dead-letter queues are useful for debugging your application or messaging system.
How do dead-letter queues work?
Sometimes, messages can’t be processed because of a variety of possible issues, such as erroneous conditions within the producer or consumer application.
For example, if a user places a web order with a particular product ID, but the product ID is deleted, the web store's code fails and displays an error, and the message with the order request is sent to a dead-letter queue.
