Creates a mapping between an event source and an AWS Lambda function. Lambda reads items from the event source and triggers the function.
For details about each event source type, see the following topics.
- Using AWS Lambda with Amazon DynamoDB
- Using AWS Lambda with Amazon Kinesis
- Using AWS Lambda with Amazon SQS
The following error handling options are only available for stream sources (DynamoDB and Kinesis):
BisectBatchOnFunctionError
- If the function returns an error, split the batch in two and retry.DestinationConfig
- Send discarded records to an Amazon SQS queue or Amazon SNS topic.MaximumRecordAgeInSeconds
- Discard records older than the specified age.MaximumRetryAttempts
- Discard records after the specified number of retries.ParallelizationFactor
- Process multiple batches from each shard concurrently.
