Loss of data from SQS FIFO queue

Question

**We have a  FIFO Queue added as a trigger to lambda (consumer lambda) for processing 7000 records in order. The Issue is that some random messages are getting lost and not received at the consumer lambda's end. There is no log trace for the any error and no entries in the DLQ for the respective lost messages. 
If I reduce the input records to 3000 then this issues doesn't appear and each message is received in consumer lambda.**

Answer

Hi,

The AWS Lambda function can be triggered with multiple messages from the Amazon SQS queue (unless the Batch Size is set to zero in the Trigger configuration).

The Lambda function should loop through each record that is passed in the event parameter, for example:

```
exports.handler = async function(event, context) {
  event.Records.forEach(record => {
    const { body } = record;
    console.log(body);
  });
  return {};
}
```

So, is Batch Size set to 0 in your case? See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-sqs.html for details about batch size

Best,

Didier
