Amazon BDS-C00 Exam - Topic 2 Question 128 Discussion

An administrator is processing events in near real-time using Kinesis streams and Lambda. Lambda intermittently fails to process batches from one of the shards due to a 5 --minute time limit. What is a possible solution for this problem?
B) Reduce the batch size that lambda is reading from the stream
A) Add more Lambda functions to improve concurrent batch processing
C) Ignore and skip events that are older than 5 minutes and put them to Dead Letter Queue (DLQ)
D) Configure Lambda to read from fewer shards in parallel

I think A could work too, more Lambdas might speed things up!

B is a solid choice, reducing batch size can help.

I vaguely recall that configuring Lambda to read from fewer shards might actually slow things down, so that doesn't seem right to me.

I feel like skipping older events and using a DLQ could be a valid approach, but I wonder if that would lead to data loss.

I think adding more Lambda functions could help with concurrency, but it might not solve the time limit issue directly.

I remember we discussed how reducing the batch size could help Lambda process events faster, but I'm not sure if that's the best option here.
