AWS Lambda now supports Amazon MSK, self-manged Apache Kafka and Amazon MQ for Apache ActiveMQ as event sources in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. This gives customers more choices for how they want to send messages to Lambda. Customers can build applications quickly and easily with Lambda functions that are invoked based on messages from these event sources connected to an event source mapping.
Lambda supports messaging event sources such as Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Now, it is also easy to read from Amazon MQ message brokers or Kafka topics to process messages without needing to create and manage a consumer application. The Lambda function is invoked when the messages exceed the batch size, the payload exceeds 6MB, or when the batch window expires.
This feature incurs no additional charge. You pay for the Lambda invocations triggered by the event source mapping connected to Kafka or Amazon MQ. To learn more, see the Lambda Developer Guide for Amazon MSK, Apache Kafka and Amazon MQ.
