Serverless Sns Sqs Lambda

This is a Serverless Framework plugin for AWS lambda Functions. Currently, it is possible to subsribe directly to an SNS topic. However, if you want to provide retry capability and error handling, you need to write a whole lot of boilerplate to add a Queue and a Dead Letter Queue between the Lambda and the SNS topic. This plugin allows you to define an sns subscriber with a batchSize and a maxRetryCount as simply as subscribing directly to the sns topic.
