Is it possible to setup an eventbridge rule to push events to an SQS queue all with serverless?

It appears we can create this functionality directly in AWS. I.e. create an eventbus and rule and the rule connects to a SQS (or lambda).

With serverless it looks like I can create the SQS Queue in Resources, but cannot seem to connect an event bus/rule to it.

Hey Stuart. You should be able to create that EventBridge rule using CloudFormation in `Resources` just like you did the SQS queue. The CloudFormation documentation to do so is here: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html)

Thanks Gareth, that works a treat!
