For gradual traffic shifting in Lambda deployments, AWS Lambda aliases support the RoutingConfig property, which specifies the percentage of traffic routed to different versions of the Lambda function. This enables weighted traffic shifting between versions as part of deployment strategies.

The AWS::Lambda::Alias resource’s RoutingConfig can specify multiple versions with weights, enabling canary or linear deployment strategies without needing CodeDeploy resources explicitly.

AWS CodeDeploy resources like DeploymentConfig and DeploymentGroup are used primarily for blue/green deployments and managing deployment strategies outside Lambda aliases.

Lambda versions themselves do not have a VersionWeight property; instead, weighted routing is managed via aliases.

 Use AWS Step Functions to Orchestrate Processing:

AWS Step Functions allow you to build distributed applications by combining AWS Lambda functions or other AWS services into workflows.

Decoupling the processing into Step Functions tasks enables you to retry individual steps without reprocessing the entire record.

 Architectural Steps:

Create a web application to pass records to AWS Step Functions:

The web application can be a simple frontend that receives input and triggers the Step Functions workflow.

Define a Step Functions state machine:

Each step in the state machine represents a processing stage. If a step fails, Step Functions can retry the step based on defined conditions.

Use AWS Lambda functions:

Lambda functions can be used to handle each processing step. These functions can be stateless and handle specific tasks, reducing the complexity of error handling and reprocessing logic.

 Operational Efficiency:

Using Step Functions and Lambda improves operational efficiency by providing built-in error handling, retries, and state management.

This architecture scales automatically and isolates failures to individual steps, ensuring only failed steps are retried.
