is it possible / adviceable to return a success http repsonse immediately and continue doing work in the lambda?

Karol Wójcik10:10:54

What you would like to do after sending the http response?

Benjamin10:10:12

It was just that gitlab said it should return true and quick. But yea I can just do all my work and then return

If you're doing something that is async/requires fault tolerancy consider using sqs

i was considering sqs for that use case, but I think a Cloudwatch log filter would be better since it’s simpler - log a message describing what you want to do and have a lambda that runs by reading that log message and doing whatever is needed: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/SubscriptionFilters.html#LambdaFunctionExample

Yeah. But still it's hard to handle retries that way.

Eugene Koontz12:10:31

that’s true, something to keep in mind
