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 and malformed message handling.
