Answer 1

The DLQ Redrive is a feature only available in the AWS Console and not provided in the CLI at this time.

You can make a DLQ replay using a tool like replay-aws-dlq (https://github.com/garryyao/replay-aws-dlq) or sqsmover (https://github.com/mercury2269/sqsmover).

You can use replace-aws-dlq like this: npx replay-aws-dlq https://sqs.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/ACCOUNT_ID/DLQ_SQS_QUEUE_ID https://sqs.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/ACCOUNT_ID/ORIGIN_SQS_QUEUE_ID.

Answer 2

AWS launched DLQ redrive SDK and CLI support in Jun this year, so you can programatically trigger it.
