AWS Lambda can now detect and stop recursive loops in Lambda functions. Customers build event-driven applications using Lambda functions to process events from sources like Amazon SQS and Amazon SNS. However, in certain scenarios, due to resource misconfiguration or code defect, a processed event may be sent back to the same service or resource that invoked the Lambda function. This can cause an unintended recursive loop, and result in unintended usage and costs for customers. With this launch, Lambda will stop recursive invocations between Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon SNS after 16 recursive calls.
