## Overview
<a name="_overview"></a>

This AWS Solutions Construct implements (1) an AWS Lambda function that is configured to send messages to a queue; (2) an Amazon SQS queue; and (3) an AWS Lambda function configured to consume messages from the queue.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

**Example**  

```
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { LambdaToSqsToLambda, LambdaToSqsToLambdaProps } from "@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-lambda-sqs-lambda";
import * as lambda from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda';

new LambdaToSqsToLambda(this, 'LambdaToSqsToLambdaPattern', {
  producerLambdaFunctionProps: {
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_22_X,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`producer-lambda`)
  },
  consumerLambdaFunctionProps: {
    runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_22_X,
    handler: 'index.handler',
    code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`consumer-lambda`)
  }
});
```

```
from aws_solutions_constructs.aws_lambda_sqs_lambda import LambdaToSqsToLambda
from aws_cdk import (
    aws_lambda as _lambda,
    Stack
)
from constructs import Construct

LambdaToSqsToLambda(
    self, 'LambdaToSqsToLambdaPattern',
    producer_lambda_function_props=_lambda.FunctionProps(
        code=_lambda.Code.from_asset('producer_lambda'),
        runtime=_lambda.Runtime.PYTHON_3_14,
        handler='index.handler'
    ),
    consumer_lambda_function_props=_lambda.FunctionProps(
        code=_lambda.Code.from_asset('consumer_lambda'),
        runtime=_lambda.Runtime.PYTHON_3_14,
        handler='index.handler'
    )
)
```

```

import software.amazon.awscdk.services.lambda.*;
import software.amazon.awscdk.services.lambda.Runtime;
import software.amazon.awsconstructs.services.lambdasqslambda.*;

new LambdaToSqsToLambda(this, "LambdaToSqsToLambdaPattern", new LambdaToSqsToLambdaProps.Builder()
        .producerLambdaFunctionProps(new FunctionProps.Builder()
                .runtime(Runtime.NODEJS_22_X)
                .code(Code.fromAsset("producer-lambda"))
                .handler("index.handler")
                .build())
        .consumerLambdaFunctionProps(new FunctionProps.Builder()
                .runtime(Runtime.NODEJS_22_X)
                .code(Code.fromAsset("consumer-lambda"))
                .handler("index.handler")
                .build())
        .build());
```

|  existingQueueObj?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.Queue.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.Queue.html)   |  An optional, existing SQS queue to be used instead of the default queue. Providing both this and `queueProps` will cause an error.  | 
|  queueProps?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.QueueProps.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.QueueProps.html)   |  Optional - user provided properties to override the default properties for the SQS queue. Providing both this and `existingQueueObj` will cause an error.  | 
|  deployDeadLetterQueue?  |   `boolean`   |  Whether to create a secondary queue to be used as a dead letter queue. Defaults to `true`.  | 
|  deadLetterQueueProps?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.QueueProps.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_sqs.QueueProps.html)   |  Optional user-provided props to override the default props for the dead letter queue. Only used if the `deployDeadLetterQueue` property is set to `true`.  | 
|  maxReceiveCount?  |   `number`   |  The number of times a message can be unsuccessfully dequeued before being moved to the dead letter queue. Defaults to `15`.  | 
|  existingConsumerLambdaObj?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.Function.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.Function.html)   |  An optional, existing Lambda function to be used instead of the default function for receiving/consuming messages from the queue. Providing both this and `consumerLambdaFunctionProps` will cause an error.  | 
|  consumerLambdaFunctionProps?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.FunctionProps.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda.FunctionProps.html)   |  Optional user-provided properties to override the default properties for the consumer Lambda function.  | 
|  queueEnvironmentVariableName?  |   `string`   |  Optional Name for the Lambda function environment variable set to the URL of the queue. Default: SQS\$1QUEUE\$1URL  | 
|  sqsEventSourceProps?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda_event_sources.SqsEventSourceProps.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lambda_event_sources.SqsEventSourceProps.html)   |  Optional user provided properties for the queue event source.  | 
|  existingVpc?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.IVpc.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.IVpc.html)   |  An optional, existing VPC into which this pattern should be deployed. When deployed in a VPC, the Lambda function will use ENIs in the VPC to access network resources and an Interface Endpoint will be created in the VPC for Amazon SQS. If an existing VPC is provided, the `deployVpc` property cannot be `true`. This uses `ec2.IVpc` to allow clients to supply VPCs that exist outside the stack using the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.Vpc.html#static-fromwbrlookupscope-id-options](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.Vpc.html#static-fromwbrlookupscope-id-options) method.  | 
|  vpcProps?  |   [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.VpcProps.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.VpcProps.html)   |  Optional user-provided properties to override the default properties for the new VPC. `enableDnsHostnames`, `enableDnsSupport`, `natGateways` and `subnetConfiguration` are set by the pattern, so any values for those properties supplied here will be overridden. If `deployVpc` is not `true` then this property will be ignored.  | 
|  deployVpc?  |   `boolean`   |  Whether to create a new VPC based on `vpcProps` into which to deploy this pattern. Setting this to true will deploy the minimal, most private VPC to run the pattern:  |

## Default Settings
<a name="_default_settings"></a>

Out-of-the-box implementation of this Construct (without any overridden properties) will adhere to the following defaults:

### AWS Lambda Functions
<a name="_aws_lambda_functions"></a>
+ Configure limited privilege access IAM role for Lambda functions.
+ Enable reusing connections with Keep-Alive for NodeJs Lambda functions.
+ Enable X-Ray Tracing
+ Set Environment Variables
  + AWS\$1NODEJS\$1CONNECTION\$1REUSE\$1ENABLED (for Node 10.x and higher functions)

### Amazon SQS Queue
<a name="_amazon_sqs_queue"></a>
+ Deploy a dead letter queue for the primary queue.
+ Enable server-side encryption for the primary queue using an AWS Managed KMS Key.
+ Enforce encryption of data in transit

## Example Lambda Function Implementation
<a name="_example_lambda_function_implementation"></a>

While Solutions Constructs does not publish code for the Lambda function interact with SQS, here many examples: [examples](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javascriptv3/example_code/sqs/actions). (these examples are in JavaScript, but examples in other languages can also be found at this site)
