Lambda Destinations
  • It sends invocation records to a destination (SQS queue, SNS topic, Lambda function, or EventBridge event bus) when the lambda function is invoked asynchronously
  • It also supports stream invocation
Can be increased upto Hundreds
Monitoring tools
  • (Default) CloudWatch Logs stream
  • AWS X-Ray
  • CloudWatch Lambda Insights (preview)
--
VPC
  • When you enable VPC, your Lambda function will lose default internet access
  • If you require external internet access for your function, ensure that your security group allows outbound connections and that your VPC has a NAT gateway
--
Concurrency
  • Concurrent Execution refers to the execution of number of function at a given time. By default the limit is 1000 across all function within a given region
  • AWS Lambda keeps 100 for the unreserved function
  • So, if there are 1000 then you can select from 900 and reserve concurrency for selected function and rest 100 is used for the unreserved function
Can be increased upto Hundreds of thousands
DLQ (Dead Letter Queue)
  • Failed Lambda is invoked twice by default and the event is discarded
  • DLQ instruct lamnda to send unprocessed events to AWS SQS or AWS SNS
  • DLQ helps you troubleshoot and examine the unprocessed request
--
Throttle
  • Throttle will set reserved concurrency of the function to zero and it will throttle all future invocation
  • If the function is throttled then it will fail to run
  • If the fucntion is ran from Lambda console then it will throw "Calling the Invoke API failed with message: Rate Exceeded."
--
File system
  • File system will allow you to add Amazon EFS file system, which provides distributed network storage for the instances of the function
  • To connect to the file system, you need to connect your lambda function to VPC
--
State machines
  • Step Functions state machines which orchestrate this function
  • The Step Functions state machines page lists all state machines in the current AWS region with at least one workflow step that invokes a Lambda function
--
Database proxies
  • Database proxy manages a pool of database connections and relays queries from a function
  • It uses Secrets Manager secret to access credentials for a database
  • To connect to the file system, you need to connect your lambda function to VPC
--

To set CloudFront trigger, one need to publish the version of Lambda.
Limitations:
Runtime is limited to Node.js 6.10
/tmp/ space is not available
Environment variables, DLQ & Amazon VPC's cannot be used
CloudWatch Events Trigger AWS Lambda on desired time interval (rate(1 day)) or on the state change of EC2, RDS, S3, Health. Rule based on either Event Pattern (time interval)
Schedule Expression (Auto Scaling on events like Instance launch and terminate
AWS API call via CloudTrail

Code Commit Trigger AWS Lambda based on the AWS CodeCommit version control system Repository Name
Event Type
Cognito Sync Trigger Trigger AWS Lambda in response to event, each time the dataset is synchronized Cognito Identity Pool dataset
DynamoDB Trigger AWS Lambda whenever the DynomoDB table is updated DynamoDB Table name
Batch Size(The largest number of records that AWS Lambda will retrieve from your table at the time of invoking your function. Your function receives an event with all the retrieved records)
Kinesis Trigger AWS Lambda whenever the Kinesis stream is updated Kinesis Stream
Batch Size
S3 Trigger AWS Lambda in response to file dropped in S3 bucket Bucket Name
Event Type (Object Removed, Object Created)
SNS Trigger AWS Lambda whenever the message is published to Amazon SNS Topic SNS Topic
SQS Trigger AWS Lambda on message arrival in SQS SQS queue
Batch size
Limitation: It only works with Standard queue and not FIFO queue

Troubleshooting
Error Possible Reason Solution
File "/var/task/lambda_function.py", line 2, in lambda_handler
return event['demoevent']
KeyError: 'demoevent'
Event does not have the key 'demoevent' or either misspelled Make sure the event is getting the desired key if it is receiving the event from any trigger.
Or if the not outside event is passed than check for misspell.
Or check the event list by printing event.
botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetParameters operation: User: arn:aws:dummy:🔢assumed-role/role/ is not authorized to perform: ssm:GetParameters on resource: arn:aws:ssm:dummy Lacks Permission to access Assign appropriate permission for accessibility
ImportError: Missing required dependencies [‘module'] Dependent module is missing Install/Upload the required module
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) could not translate host name "host.dummy.region.rds.amazonaws.com" to address: Name or service not known RDS Host is unavailable Make sure the RDS instance is up and running.
Double check the RDS hostname
[Errno 32] Broken pipe Connection is lost (Either from your side or may be some problem from AWS)
While invoking another Lambda, if the payload size exceed the mentioned limit
Make sure if you are passing the payload of right size.
Check for the connection.
Unable to import module ‘lambda_function/index’ No module named ‘lambda_function' Handler configuration is not matching the main file name Update the handler configuration as per your filename.function_name
OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) terminating connection due to administrator command SSL connection has been closed unexpectedly RDS/Database System has been rebooted.
In a typical web application using an ORM (SQLAlchemy) Session, the above condition would correspond to a single request failing with a 500 error, then the web application continuing normally beyond that. Hence the approach is “optimistic” in that frequent database restarts are not anticipated.
Give second try
Error code 429 The function is throttled. Basically the reserved concurrency is set to zero or it have reach the account level throttle.
(The function that is invoked synchronous and if it is throttled then it will return 429 error. If the lambda function is invoked asynchronously and if it is throttled then it will retry the throttled event for upto 6 hours.)
Check for the reserved concurrency limit or throttle status for the individual function. Or check for the account level concurrent execution limit
