Deploying ElasticMQ as a Self-Hosted AWS SQS Alternative

ElasticMQ is an in-memory message queue with an SQS-compatible API, a lightweight alternative to AWS SQS for dev, test, or infrastructure-independent production use, supporting standard/FIFO queues, dead-letter queues, visibility timeouts, and optional persistence. This guide deploys it via Docker behind Traefik with TLS, configures queues and DLQs, sets up the web UI, enables persistence, and covers migrating off AWS SQS.
