serverless-kinesis-esm-plugin

Avoid the dreaded AWS Lambda Kinesis Event Source Mapping throttling error.

"Invalid request provided: Received Exception while reading from provided stream. Rate exceeded for shard shardId-000000000000 in stream my-event-hub-stg-s1"

This error happens when you have too many functions consuming from the same stream. This is most acute in a shared development account where functions are not busy doing real work and spend most of their time polling kinesis.

This fixes the out of the box AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping resource type that does not seem to perform any retries.

Install

First, create a stack for the custom resource using this template.

Then install and configure the plugin that updates your stack to use the custom resource:

npm install serverless-kinesis-esm-plugin --save-dev

serverless.yml

Optional settings are commented out
