AWS Lambda Supports Amazon SQS FIFO (First-In-First-Out) as an Event Source
AWS Lambda now supports Amazon SQS FIFO as an event source. This allows you to use Lambda for building event-driven applications where ordered events and operations are critical. For example, you can build an application that displays the correct product price by sending price modifications in the right order.

Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service for reliably communicating between distributed software components and microservices. It has two offerings: SQS standard queues and SQS FIFO queues. FIFO queues improves upon and complement the standard queue: it preserves the exact order in which messages are sent and received, and support message groups that allow multiple ordered message groups within a single queue.
Lambda enables you to run code in response to events from data streaming and queuing services. It supports Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon DynamoDB Streams, and Amazon SQS standard queues. Now, you can process messages from Amazon SQS FIFO queues with Lambda. The order of processing follows the message order within a message group.
You can get started with SQS FIFO queue as a Lambda event source via AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS CloudFormation or AWS SDK for Lambda. It is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Lambda is available. You pay only for the SQS API operations performed by the Lambda service on your behalf, and the Lambda requests and duration used to process your messages. For more information on where AWS Lambda is available, see the AWS Region table. To learn more, see Using AWS Lambda with Amazon SQS FIFO in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.
