Kafka + AWS lambda

Question

Is it possible to integrate AWS Lambda with Apache Kafka ? I want to put a consumer in a lambda function. When a consumer receive a message the lambda function execute.

Answer 1

Yes it is very much possible to have a Kafka consumer in AWS Lambda function.

However note that you would not be able to invoke the lambda using some sort of notification. You will rather have to poll the Kafka topic. And the easiest way can be to use a Scheduled Lambda
