Can there be multiple S3 event notification records in a single SQS message?

Question

docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/notification-content-structure.html

I noticed the event structure is something like

```
{  
   "Records":[  
     
   ]
}
```
Given that "Records" is an array, should I ever expect multiple S3 events in the same SQS message or is it guaranteed to always be at most one?

Yes, when an S3 event notification is sent to an SQS queue, it includes an array called "Records," which contains one or more records. Each record represents a single S3 event, such as the creation or deletion of an object in a bucket. It's possible for a single SQS message to contain multiple records if multiple S3 events occurred in quick succession. This allows S3 to batch events together and send them in a single notification message to SQS.
