Short hand syntax should support FIFO queues

[gmetzker]

SQS recently added support for 'fifo' queues.
If Cloudformation supports this perhaps the plugin can support it to. Use a regex match .fifo$ to see if the queue name ends with .fifo.

If the queue name ends with .fifo then create a fifo queue by:

• Set attribute: FifoQueue: true ?
• Consider setting ContentBasedDeduplication: true or what ever the default queue attributes on when you create a fifo queue on the AWS web ui console.

• Determine the default fifo queue attributes

• Determine if Cloudformation supports this what what the syntax looks like

• During compilation time determine if the queue name matches the fifo format

• Create the queue with the default fifo attributes if it should be a fifo queue.

Potential syntax

  # 'functions' in serverless.yml

functions:
  createUser: # Function name
    handler: handler.createUser # Reference to function 'createUser' in code

    deadLetter:
      sqs:  createUser-dl-queue.fifo

FIFO queues are not support by Cloudformation at this time. Once this is added to CF we can fix this.

Hi! Same here, I would really like to use this plugin using FIFO queues. Any plan to update it?

There's a real need to support FIFO for DLQ
