AWS SQS 死信队列重新驱动策略

Question

In my system there is a main-queue and dead-letter-queue.

When any message failed in main-queue it goes to dead-letter-queue.

Reason of failing message in main-queue sometime random not critical ie message can be processed if reattempt from the main-queue.

In my system there are 3 attempt to any failed message, meaning will send message to main-queue from dead-letter-queue only 3 times.

How can i track the message whether its 3rd attempt is exhausted and there is no need to send it back to main-queue for processing (will keep in dlq till it expire)?

You can use the property ApproximateReceiveCount from MessageAttributes in SQSEvent.SQSMessage
