AWS SQS + Lambda Setup Tutorial - Step by Step

In this video, I walk you through the process of connecting a SQS queue to a Lambda function. I also discuss more advanced SQS and Lambda configure topics such as batch processing and time window polling.

The reason why you fired one lambda for each of them is because your trigger window is set to 0. it needs to be at least the smallest allowable number presumably for it to wait enough to scan beyond the first element in the queue.

I love watching your videos you are amazing at what you do can’t wait to get there

Recommend for beginners✌️

Clear . Simple . Superb

SQS to Lambda has scaling issue. This trigger is a push based trigger, Lambda get pushed regardless of Lambda throttle. The result will be, all messages are dropped or be sent to DLQ. I remember internally SQS to Lambda won't pass PE review.

[priyankavaidya]

hey, you made really great video on this topic, could you please make more videos in details for the same, it would be more more helpful

[SirWnka]

That was very helpful. I have a question though: are the messages that weren't successfully processed going to the DLQ instead of going back in the main queue if this feature is set up?

[sparshjain]

Since we have kept the Batch window as 0s, wouldn't it nullify batching? (We will wait 0s for a batch size of 10 messages and invoke the lambda). Is my understanding correct?

[thiagolopessilva]

Is there any approach to only run one lambda at time to avoid parallel processing after it received the sqs message?

[firstname-lastname]

Yo mate, as always, great tutorial 👍

[ruwanvimukthimettananda]

I want to setup same setup, but Lambda in on one AWS account and SQS on another AWS account. How we can setup cross-account connectivity. If you could create a video, it will be great

[gabrielscotafernandes]

Hello, could you please make a tutorial using SQS + Lambda to trigger a standalone Task on a Cluster?

[marceloaraujo]

thanks guy, we are planning to crete an POC to validate if is possible create an integration beased on event driven with api gateway + lambda + | sqs sending to another lambda | and post it to another endpoint

did you help me to excecute the phase between pipes, thanks so much

[renejacques]

Say the batch size is 10 and the Batch Window is 0, does that mean msg's will be processed as soon as they come in even before the batch size gets to 10?

[dimalisovyk]

How does it actually work with Lambda? Lambda is supposed to be invoked, but SQS assumes polling. So it is pull, not push (unlike SNS). Does it instantiate a lambda with 100% uptime?

[flo_bady]

Hi Dan great content thks a lot
Quick one, how are streams created ? Should all the batch items be treated by one lambda invocation? You seem to say that it is not the case but if you have more explanations on when a new log stream is or is not created that would be interesting.
Thks a lot
Cheers

I followed your tutorial it worked but my queue was stuck in Message in Flight mode those are not auto deleted but you are auto-deleted i can see the video. Note i am using a Standard queue.

[chakhmanmohamed]

Hello, could you please do a tutorial on how to set up file storage in aws so that the website users can upload their stuff. Just like a database. I don't know how the process is made. Thanks

Why would we use SQS when we can implement Step functions?
