# ezgh queues

{/* Generated by ezgh-cli's internal/tools/clidocs from the ezgh command tree. Don't edit: change the command's help in ezgh-cli and regenerate. */}

```sh
ezgh queues <command>
```

EZGH Queues keeps messages between the parts of your system: standard queues (at-least-once, best-effort order) and FIFO queues (in order per message group, with send deduplication).

A receive claims messages: each comes with a receipt handle, and stays hidden from other receivers for the visibility timeout. Acknowledge it with the handle once it's handled (ezgh queues ack), or release it early (change-visibility &lt;handle&gt; 0); otherwise it's received again when the timeout ends. After a queue's `--max-receives`, a message moves to its dead-letter queue, from which a redrive moves it back. A subscription pushes a queue's messages to an HTTPS endpoint, or starts an EZGH Workflows run for each, instead.

Queues are in a project (`--project`, `EZGH_PROJECT` or the profile's), named by name or ID. Sends go to queues-api; receives and receipt handles to the live host (`EZGH_QUEUES_LIVE_URL` overrides it).
