Announcing AWS Lambda Kafka event source mapping integration in Amazon MSK Console
News
This article announces Lambda's Kafka event source mapping integration in the Amazon MSK Console, simplifying MSK-to-Lambda connections.
- Configure Lambda ESM directly from MSK Console without switching between consoles
- Requires only topic name and target Lambda function as mandatory fields
- Automatically generates required Lambda execution role permissions for MSK access
- Uses Provisioned Mode by default for optimized latency and throughput
- Handles ESM creation with optimized defaults for authentication and polling
- Generally available in all AWS Commercial Regions except select Asia Pacific and Canada West regions
This integration streamlines MSK-Lambda configuration, reduces setup errors, and enables faster event-driven Kafka application deployment.
