Three tools with one idea: look inside your queues from the editor you already have open, without side effects you did not ask for, and get dead letters back without losing any.
JetBrains IDEsQueue Studio for RabbitMQ
Browse RabbitMQ from your IDE: vhosts, exchanges and queues, message peek and publish, JSON payloads with highlighting. Peek tens of thousands of messages, delete or edit one in the middle of a queue, watch live traffic, read streams from any offset or time, see which policy applies and why, and trace a routing key through a graph of exchanges and bindings. Moving messages out of a dead-letter queue never loses them: each one leaves the source only after the broker confirms its copy on the target. Quorum queues are never read in a way that counts toward the delivery limit, and private clusters are reached through an SSH bastion.
- Management HTTP API and AMQP 0-9-1 with publisher confirms
- SSH bastion with a key, the SSH agent or a password
- Collects no data; passwords stay in the IDE password safe
From $4 a month for individuals, with a 30-day free trial.
JetBrains IDEsQueue Studio for Amazon SQS
Look at your SQS messages without pushing them into the dead-letter queue. SQS has no peek: every look is a receive, and a few looks at a queue with a redrive policy quietly move its messages to the DLQ. Queue Studio tells you before each read what it will do, shows how many receives each message has left, holds what it read and gives it back at once when you are done. Redrive a dead-letter queue to its sources or any queue, move, delete, fix and resend messages, and publish to SNS topics.
- Any AWS profile, including SSO, assume-role and MFA
- LocalStack, ElasticMQ and Moto; true peek on LocalStack
- Collects no data; talks only to the endpoints you configure
From $4 a month for individuals, with a 30-day free trial.
VS CodeQueue Studio for Service Bus
Service Bus in the editor: cloud namespaces and the local emulator in one tree, a peek of a whole queue, subscription or dead-letter queue without locks, so delivery counts and consumers are not affected. Send and resend messages, and create, edit or delete queues, topics and subscriptions. Pro adds search in bodies and properties, moving a whole dead-letter queue back in one operation (each batch leaves the dead-letter queue only after its send succeeded), moving or deleting selected messages, purge, and export and import as JSON.
- Connection string, Microsoft Entra ID or the local emulator
- Active, dead-letter and scheduled counts in the tree
- Sends nothing except the license check: the key and a machine id
Free. Pro from $4 a month for individuals, with a 14-day trial of everything.
