Feature Request: Create queues automaticlly on any http request with no static config

[p10tyr]

Automatically create queues on any [GET], [POST] HTTP requests and omit static configuration.

It would be great to have a flag to enable creation of queues on http request - instead of returning not found.

This can eliminate static config files, especially helpful during dev/test cycle, where we don't want to maintain multiple queue configurations, we just want it to do what a mock server needs to do automatically.

I don't mind taking a stab at it... Could someone please suggest which files to look at to start with?
Also, I don't have a Java env setup so im not sure how I'd build and test.

@p10tyr When using ElasticMQ I usually create the queues I need explicitly in the test preparation part using CreateQueue API. Isn't it enough for your scenario?

@micossow The typical use case for explicitly setting up queues seems okay. What I am doing is creating dynamic environments that use ElasticMQ as a drop-in SQS replacement, to avoid running CloudFormation. This saves us tons of time.

We use Kubernetes to host multiple sandboxed environments. For simplicity, we use the same queue name for all environments, so when we have 30 running, we don't know which environment needs to pick up the message from the global running elasticmq service.

We have a mechanism to adjust what queue name it needs to listen to, for example, we prepend an environment-specific tag.
So queue becomes env1-queue - It would be a great option to have, if a client asks for queue or env1-queue or random-queu - just create it internally using some base options from config?

Why is that a benefit for dynamic environments in Kubernetes

• Save resource
  • Use 1 global instance of elasticmq with guaranteed QoS for all environments
  • Instead of hosting multiple elasticmq using up lots of resource per namepsace
• auto-config
  • remove dependency to maintain a configMap / appconfig with static queue names or custom ones
  • remove unnecessary scripts or helm updates to patch external namespaces with queue names
