AWS Lambda with SQS as Dead letter

Hi,

AWS Lambda supports setting up SQS as a Dead Letter Queue.
I cannot find this in the documentation.
How can i make this happen?

Hi @mantzas,

There is currently an feature request open in github discussing this feature. It’s on our roadmap to implement in the near future. https://github.com/serverless/serverless/issues/2982

In the mean time, there is a plugin available if you need to use this functionality right away. https://github.com/gmetzker/serverless-plugin-lambda-dead-letter

Hope this helps!

thanks, the plugin will do just fine for now

What is the status of this. Has this fetaure being implemented? I am looking to use DLQ with SQS

The instructions are in the docs.

https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/functions#dead-letter-queue-dlq

Yes, they state “We’re working on a fix so that SQS queue arns will be supported in the future.” Which Is why I am asking if the fix has been implemented yet?
