Long Polling

By default Shoryuken does not use Long Polling, for turning it on, you need to configure it as follows:

# config/initializers/shoryuken.rb
Shoryuken.sqs_client_receive_message_opts = { wait_time_seconds: 20 }

If you are not using Rails --rails, which auto loads initializers, just add that configuration to the file you require --require for starting Shoryuken.

See Receive Message options.
