Cloudwatch SQS Event Target

Is it possible to have a SQS queue as an event target via a EventRule?

It’s not built in to Queue right now, but you can write a new class that implements IEventRuleTarget and put a method like this on it:

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/@aws-cdk/aws-sns/lib/topic-base.ts#L282

(Reference your queue instead).

I’m thinking the model should be a mix between this: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-events-targets/lib/ecs-ec2-task.ts

And this: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-events-targets/lib/sns.ts

Specifically, I’m thinking the SQS target takes an

  readonly message?: events.RuleTargetInput;

As well as fields that go into SqsParameters: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchEvents/latest/APIReference/API_SqsParameters.html

(Seems to be only messageGroupId)
