Process Messages Automatically Using AWS Lambda and Amazon SQS

LAB ID: process-messages-automatically-using-aws-lambda-and-amazon-sqs

Have you ever wanted to practically try out Amazon SQS for project development? Well, here comes our Lambda with SQS Triggers Labs. Whether you are a student or a professional – the lab rolls out something for everyone. In Lambda with SQS Triggers Labs, learners initiate their project by creating an Amazon SQS queue. The process then transitions into creating an AWS Lambda function. Thereby boosting hands-on experience of learners in AWS SQS. Step-by-step guidance moves on to configuring an SQS trigger, followed by sending messages to SQS. Towards the end, Lambda with SQS Triggers Labs ensures that learners have also covered invoking Lambda without any manual interference. And, they are able to view processed messages in CloudWatch Logs. Don’t just wait & watch. Give a practical shot at architecting and deploying an industry-aligned project with Lambda with SQS Triggers Labs. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lab, learners will: • Create an Amazon SQS queue • Create an AWS Lambda function • Configure an SQS trigger • Send messages to SQS • Automatically invoke Lambda • View processed messages in CloudWatch Logs Imagine a Scenario: You are a cloud engineer at an e-commerce company. When customers place orders, the application sends order information to an Amazon SQS queue. To automate processing, the company wants AWS Lambda to automatically read and process messages from the queue without requiring any servers. Your task is to create an SQS queue, configure a Lambda function as a consumer, send messages to the queue, and verify that Lambda automatically processes them.
