Deletes all SQS topics prefixed by something

delete-queue.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Delete all SQS queues with a specified prefix (up to 1000 at a time)
# SQS won't list more than 1000 queues at a time, so you may need to run this multiple times.
# Usage
#
#     ./delete-sqs-queues-like.sh test-
#
# Requires `parallel` and `awscli`

queueUrl=$1
aws sqs delete-queue --queue-url $queueUrl
echo "$queueUrl" >> deleted-queues

delete-sqs-queues-like.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

QUEUE_PREFIX=$1

aws sqs list-queues --queue-name-prefix $1 | jq -r .QueueUrls[] > queues-to-delete

parallel -j 5 delete-queue.sh < queues-to-delete
