Configuring reserved concurrency for a function - AWS Lambda
In Lambda, concurrency is the number of in-flight requests that your function is currently handling. There are two types of concurrency controls available: Reserved concurrency – This sets both the maximum and minimum number of concurrent instances allocated to your function.

Setting reserved concurrency limit - Serverless Framework - Serverless Forums
I’m fairly new to using the serverless framework. Setting the reserved concurrency on a function would reflect the same when I check on the lambda console. But, if I set the reserved concurrency in the providers section of serverless.yml, I don’t see the reserved concurrency being set. More on forum.serverless.com

AWS Lambda Reserved Concurrency
no, it is not possible. lambda instances don't know about each other. it has to be something about sqs visibility timeout, and some error in signaling the processing of messages. More on reddit.com

🤡Lambda throttling and retries are killing me!!
If your reserved concurrency is set to 1 (a limit of 1) then any invocation requests that come in during an execution will be throttled - that’s the intended behaviour you’ve configured. Remember that CloudWatch doesn’t sample or aggregate per millisecond so having 12 invocations during a sampling window doesn’t seem unusual. Take a look at your function logs and the execution duration for function invokes. If what you want to achieve is the ability to have events processed asynchronously by no more than 1 Lambda function I’d encourage you to take a look at the queueing / poller pattern using SQS. SQS now has settings to help limit Lambda concurrency so you don’t need to use reserved concurrency. Have a read of this one to see if it’s helpful: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-maximum-concurrency-of-aws-lambda-functions-when-using-amazon-sqs-as-an-event-source/ In other words…. your producer (the system “asking” Lambda to do work) would write a message on to the SQS queue instead of directly asynchronously invoking Lambda. The SQS queue (with Lambda concurrency settings) would be wired up to your function and do what it looks like you’re trying to achieve. More on reddit.com

API Gateway + Lambda Function concurrency and cold start issues
> I'm also using the default memory of 128MB. Is that too low? Cpu is proportionnal to memory for lambdas, so yes, even if you do not need more memory, configuring more of if with increase the available cpu and make the responses faster. ( and so it will also lower your concurrency , which will sove another problem you have ) More on reddit.com

June 26, 2025 - When a function uses unreserved concurrency it can use up as much as it needs from the pool of total concurrency and starve other functions. Reserved concurrency on the other hand guarantees your function always has a set number of concurrency.

April 28, 2024 - With SNS FIFO, you can’t fan out messages to Lambda functions directly (see official documentation here [3]). This is why you always need to have SQS FIFO in the mix as well. Like Kinesis, event orders are preserved within a group and identified by the group ID in the messages. Recently, AWS introduced a max concurrency setting for SQS event sources (see here [4]). This solves the long-standing problem of using reserved concurrency for SQS functions.
