maximumBatchingWindowInSeconds
The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that Lambda spends gathering records before invoking the function. You can configure MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds
to any value from 0 seconds to 300 seconds in increments of seconds.
For streams and Amazon SQS event sources, the default batching window is 0 seconds. For Amazon MSK, Self-managed Apache Kafka, Amazon MQ, and DocumentDB event sources, the default batching window is 500 ms. Note that because you can only change MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds
in increments of seconds, you cannot revert back to the 500 ms default batching window after you have changed it. To restore the default batching window, you must create a new event source mapping.
Related setting: For streams and Amazon SQS event sources, when you set BatchSize
to a value greater than 10, you must set MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds
to at least 1.
