Triggering AWS Lambda from Amazon SQS
In this hands-on lab, you’ll learn how to build an asynchronous, event-driven workflow using Amazon SQS and AWS Lambda. You’ll create and configure an SQS queue, connect it to a Lambda function as an event source, and send messages for processing. You’ll also monitor Amazon CloudWatch logs to verify successful message handling and troubleshoot errors.

Challenge
Before configuring asynchronous processing, you’ll discover how to create and configure an Amazon SQS queue to decouple microservices and enable message-based communication.
Prepare the environment needed for asynchronous processing by creating a standard SQS queue using the AWS Management Console.
-
Challenge
You’ll explore how to configure a Lambda function to process messages from an SQS queue as an event source trigger.
Learn how to configure a Lambda function with the SQS queue as its event source and apply the required IAM permissions for message consumption.
-
Challenge
After the integration is complete, you’ll send messages to the SQS queue and observe how they are processed asynchronously by Lambda.
Learn how to transform incoming JSON messages, implement error handling for malformed input, and verify successful processing by analyzing execution logs in Amazon CloudWatch.
