Troubleshooting @ aws-sdk/client-sqs in AWS Lambda Layers

When developing serverless applications with AWS Lambda and the AWS SDK, you may encounter various challenges. Recently, one of our community members faced a peculiar issue while trying to send messages to Amazon SQS using @ aws-sdk/client-sqs in a Lambda layer. They reported that although the implementation worked locally and when directly invoked in Lambda, it consistently failed to push messages from the Lambda layer without throwing any errors. Let's explore what went wrong and how to fix it.

The Problem

The code snippet in question was structured to emit an event that triggered the pushError function. However, an important oversight occurred with how asynchronous operations were handled. Here’s a summary of the concerns raised:

The await keyword was missing when emitting events.

The Lambda function prematurely terminated before completing the SQS send operation.

Code Overview

The following code responsible for sending messages to SQS displayed the issue:

Despite the pushError function being defined as async and set up correctly, the function call using the event emitter did not keep the Lambda function running long enough for the send operation to complete.

The Solution

Key Changes Made

To resolve the issue, the following modifications were implemented:

Emit Events After the Message is Pushed:
Instead of emitting the event for the pushError function and completing it, a new event should be emitted after the message was successfully sent to avoid early termination of the Lambda function.

Wrap Event Call in a Promise:
Utilize a Promise to handle the asynchronous nature of the event, ensuring the Lambda function handles the operations correctly.

Here’s a simplified outline of the fixed code structure:

Additional Best Practices

Environment Variables: Ensure all required environment variables (like the SQS URL and AWS credentials) are properly configured in your Lambda environment.

IAM Roles: Confirm that the IAM roles attached to the Lambda function grant the necessary permissions for SQS actions.

Proper Logging: Use extensive logging before and after crucial operations to track exactly where the code is executing.

Conclusion

In serverless applications using AWS, managing asynchronous operations correctly is crucial. The issue faced with @ aws-sdk/client-sqs in the Lambda layers stemmed from a misunderstanding of how event-driven programming and Lambda execution flow work together. By implementing appropriate event-handling practices and ensuring your asynchronous operations are awaited properly, you can build resilient and effective serverless applications!
