aws-replicator: add meaningful documentation / schema for config yaml

Open chrisweight opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Currently, there are only a few very small examples of how to configure the aws-replicator extension via YAML. This makes it very hard to grok how to properly customise the extension.

It would be incredibly helpful to have something more comprehensive available as a reference.

For instance: Say I have a local SQS queue of dev-sqs-queue and I want to forward all requests to a remote staging-aws-queue - there is no easily available reference for this.

I'd also add that we need examples for all resources as the ARN structure of resources can be different.

Why do the resources have to start with .?

The example has

- '.*:my-s3-bucket'

A real AWS bucket ARN doesn't contains . characters.

Is forwarding to a different queue name supported? My understanding is that the replicator either forwards requests or it doesn't. I don't think it can manipulate a queue name
