Summary

Lambda adds queue mode for self‑managed Kafka event source mappings using Kafka share groups, allowing parallel consumption beyond the partition count.
Up to 10 concurrent invocations per poller boost throughput and resilience, though ordering is not preserved.
Feature is GA in all commercial regions; standard Lambda pricing applies, with extra EPU charges for provisioned mode.
