We created an SQS queue event in this recipe using the aws lambda create-event-source-mapping command. We can also use this command to define the following event sources: Kinesis Data Streams and DynamoDB streams.

AWS supports the following triggers for Lambda:

• S3
• DynamoDB
• Kinesis Data Streams
• SNS
• SES
• SQS
• Cognito
• CloudFormation
• CloudWatch Logs
• CloudWatch Events
• CodeCommit
• Scheduled Events powered by CloudWatch Events
• AWS Config
• Alexa
• Lex
• API gateway
• AWS IoT Button
• CloudFront
• Kinesis Data Firehose
