gocloud.dev's SQS driver batches Send() calls internally via SendMessageBatch (up to 10 messages) but does not enforce SQS's 1 MB batch size limit. When log entries carry large payloads the batch can exceed 1 MB, causing SQS to reject the entire batch. This cascades into a permanent retry loop because the log entry never gets persisted and the retry scheduler cannot find a prior attempt. Set MaxBatchByteSize to 1 MB so gocloud splits oversized batches before they reach SQS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
gocloud.dev's SQS topic driver batches
Send()calls viaSendMessageBatch(up to 10 messages per batch) but does not enforce SQS's 1 MB total batch size limit — it relies on SQS to reject oversized batches at the API level.When log entries carry large payloads (e.g., large request/response bodies), the combined batch can exceed 1 MB, causing SQS to reject the entire batch with
BatchRequestTooLong. This failure cascades: the log entry never gets persisted, and the retry scheduler can't find a prior attempt in the logstore, triggering an infinite retry loop (see #663).This PR sets
MaxBatchByteSize: 1_048_576on the gocloudTopicOptionsso the batcher splits oversized batches before they reach SQS. If a single message exceeds 1 MB, gocloud returnsErrMessageTooLargeinstead of a cryptic SQS batch error.Changes
