Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

License

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Operations

Receive messages from an AWS SQS queue on a defined trigger time.

Credentials

This node supports two authentication methods:

Access Key Authentication

Uses the existing AWS credentials from n8n. You'll need to configure AWS credentials with:

  • Access Key ID
  • Secret Access Key
  • Region

IAM Role Authentication (Recommended for EC2)

When running n8n on an EC2 instance, you can use the EC2 instance's IAM role for authentication via IMDSv2 (Instance Metadata Service Version 2). This is the recommended approach as it:

  • Eliminates the need to store static credentials
  • Provides automatic credential rotation
  • Follows AWS security best practices

To use IAM Role authentication:

  1. Attach an IAM role to your EC2 instance with appropriate SQS permissions
  2. Select "IAM Role (EC2 Instance)" as the authentication method
  3. Provide the AWS region where your SQS queue is located

Required IAM Permissions: The IAM role attached to your EC2 instance must include the following permissions:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "sqs:ListQueues",
                "sqs:ReceiveMessage",
                "sqs:DeleteMessage",
                "sqs:DeleteMessageBatch",
                "sqs:GetQueueAttributes"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Compatibility

n8n v0.187 and higher.
